EQUIPMENT FOR COLLECTING MEGAWATT OF WIND-GENERATED ELECTRIC POWER DELIVERING TO AN AC TRANSMISSION NETWORK

Abstract

The present invention relates to Equipment for collecting megawatt of wind-generated electric power delivering to an AC transmission network. The present invention comprises a plurality of wind turbines each configured to generate AC power at a megawatt scale, a power conversion unit operatively connected to the wind turbines, wherein the power conversion unit comprises an AC-DC converter to transform variable-frequency AC power from the wind turbines into direct current (DC), an inverter to convert the DC back to stable AC power that matches the frequency and voltage of the AC transmission network, a transformer to step up the voltage of the stabilized AC power to meet transmission network requirements and a grid synchronization module configured to ensure the phase alignment of the generated AC power with the AC transmission network.
