Abstract

In this paper, a new tool is proposed to design electric installations in wind farms. The structure of the wind farm is considered radial, as in most cases in wind farms, and the ratings of the cables are calculated, taking into account the technical constraints like electrical and thermal, and the economical aspects as cost of cable and energy savings for reduction of electrical losses. The program has been applied to solve the best rating of the cables in different wind farms and wind conditions, and the results are depictured.
