Readying the Grid

摘要

The Wyoming Collector and Transmission System study presents approaches and structures for getting multiple wind farm output into the transmission system. With multiple wind farms already constructed in Wyoming, more are proposed to take advantage of the state's exceptional wind resources. Multiple interstate transmission export lines also have been proposed to export wind power to distant load centers. The missing piece is a high-voltage collector system connecting the transmission export lines with the wind farms. A Wyoming Collector and Transmission System (WCTS) study presents some options for structuring such a network.
