A windfarm system (200) is provided that is optimized for minimizing electrical loss. The windfarm system (200) includes a plurality of wind turbine generators (201), (202), (203) and a collector system (205) including a conductor or network of conductors (215), (216), (217). The collector system (205) also including a plurality of transformers (210), (211), (212) with one or more transformers connected between each wind turbine generator and the conductors, and a substation transformer (224) connecting the windfarm collector system (205) to the electrical grid. The windfarm system (200) also includes a monitoring system (232) for monitoring the windfarm system electrical output (245) and thermal condition, and outputs (207), (208), (209) of the individual wind turbine generators. A control function (250) may include voltage and real and reactive power commands (251), (250), (253) to the individual wind turbine generators. The control function 250 incorporates an algorithm (220) whose technical effect is minimizing electrical losses for the windfarm system (200). |
