Electrical Transmission Efficiency


There will be electrical losses experienced between the low voltage terminals of each of the wind turbines and the wind farm Point of Connection, which is usually located within a wind farm switching station.


This will include the electrical losses encountered when the wind farm is operational and which will be manifested as a reduction in the energy measured by an export meter at the point of connection.  This is presented as an overall electrical efficiency, and is based on the long-term average expected production pattern of the wind farm. It is also necessary to consider the power that the wind farm consumes when the wind farm is not operational.
