Enhancing collection of electrical power in an energy collection system including radially connected transformation units

摘要

There is provided an energy collection system comprising a first switching station electrically connected to a first set of one or more transformation units for receiving a first electrical power generated thereby; a second switching station electrically connected to a second set of one or more transformation units for receiving a second electrical power generated thereby; a sub-transmission station having a first primary electrical connection with the first switching station and a second primary electrical connection with the second switching station for receiving the first and second electrical powers; and a secondary electrical connection between the first and second switching stations; wherein the secondary electrical connection and the first and second primary electrical connections form, alone or using further connections, a closed-loop electrical circuit between the first switching station, the second switching station and the sub-transmission station. There is also provided a method of enhancing collection of electrical power in an energy collection system.

主权项

1. A method of enhancing collection of electrical power in an energy collection system comprising a number of switching stations divided into a number of sets, each set comprising a number of pairs, the method comprising:
for each pair of switching stations in a set, the pair comprising a first switching station having a first switching gear board and a second switching station having a second switching gear board:
connecting a first set of one or more transformation units radially using a first input in the first switching gear board;connecting a second set of one or more transformation units radially using a first input in the second switching gear board;connecting the first switching station to the second switching station using a first output in the first switching gear board and a first output in the second switching gear board;connecting the first switching station to a first sub-transmission station using a second output in the first switching gear board;connecting the second switching station to the first sub-transmission station using a second output in the second switching gear board.
