  • Medium voltage power cables in wind farms: an introduction

    This post is an extension of the previous short article I wrote some years ago on the characteristics of wind farms medium voltage system. I wrote it with the help of my friend and colleague Kamran, who spent more than an hour answering my questions on the subject. Thank you Kamran! The medium voltage network…

  • Medium Voltage Cables Optimization

    The optimum design of the medium voltage (MV) cables consists in finding the best compromise between the initial cost of the cables and the total energy loss of the system. For this reason we design wind farms with a radial network, and section of the cables decreasing from substation to the most faraway point of…
