Testing geoelectrical and geothermal characteristics of the soil at the location of wind farms Jelinak
Abstract
For the design of large wind farms, high-quality design data is necessary. The electrical resistance of the soil is used to calculate the grounding of individual poles and the entire wind farm together with the substation. The thermal resistance of the soil is necessary to calculate the load capacity of the cables in the cable trench, of which there can be many in the vicinity of the substation. Therefore, special attention is paid to measuring the thermal resistance of the soil at the location and in the vicinity of the future substation.
