Capacitance placement in wind farms

摘要

There is provided a wind farm capacitance determination device (100) for receiving a wind farm layout information (104) of a wind farm (300) and at least one optimization constraint (108) and comprising an optimization unit (105) for optimizing a cost by providing an optimized capacitance related parameter value set (110), the cost being determined by a cost function (112) which associates to each capacitance related parameter value set a cost value, the cost function (112) being based on the wind farm layout information (104) and the optimization taking the at least one optimization constraint (108) into account. In an embodiment the optimized capacitance related parameter value set (110) includes a location, a number and a size of capacitor banks (310) to be electrically connected to the wind farm (300).
