Global warming has aroused people\'s concern about environmental issues, and renewable energy has been put on the top of the agenda of power generation equipment - the development of wind power. Wind energy has the greatest potential among all renewable energy sources, and governments of various countries are actively promoting the application of wind energy. They recognize that wind energy can play a positive role in the long term in a highly competitive market: mitigating global warming and promoting energy diversity and security. Although offshore wind power projects started late, it is currently predicted that the development and utilization of wind energy will focus on offshore locations in the future. The reason is that offshore wind farms have obvious advantages: there are higher wind speeds; less negative impact on the environment; wind turbines are far away from the coast and have little visual interference; allowing the units to be manufactured in larger sizes, thereby increasing the total installed capacity per unit area; and the control of unit noise emissions is not so prominent. When considering the feasibility of these offshore projects, Phill Cartwright, a wind power expert at AREVA T&D Group, studied the relevant issues of wind farm grid connection and proposed that issues such as power matching, grid planning and construction, standard selection, and charging mechanism should be considered. At the same time, the article also provides some solutions and ideas of AREVA T&D Group for these issues. Specification issues for offshore wind turbine power aggregation The technical specifications of wind power generation do not match those of traditional power generation because the existing power system has evolved. There is huge potential for future wind turbine installations, and people require these units to have the same power generation specifications as traditional power plants to support the normal operation of the power system. Therefore, large wind farms in the future may need to be matched with suitable controllers and fast-response power equipment. These devices should have powerful control functions, such as: dynamic control of voltage and frequency, system shock absorption, or system inertia control.
