What is the purpose of a booster station

Main functions
Voltage conversion: By using transformers and other equipment, low voltage electricity (such as DC electricity generated by photovoltaic panels or AC electricity from wind turbines) is stepped up to high voltage levels (such as 330kV, 132kV).

Transmission optimization: High voltage transmission can reduce energy loss in current transmission and improve grid efficiency.
Reactive power compensation: Some boosting stations are equipped with devices such as capacitors and reactors to stabilize the voltage and frequency of the power grid.
Application scenarios
Power system: Increase the voltage at the end of transmission lines, reduce line losses, improve transmission efficiency, while enhancing the safety and reliability of the power grid and reducing failure rates.
New energy power generation: such as wind farm boosting stations, which increase the output voltage of wind turbines to a higher level and send them out, achieving grid connected transmission.
Electronic devices: Many electronic devices have low operating voltages and require voltage boosting stations to raise their voltage to an appropriate range, such as mobile phone chargers, car chargers, medical equipment, etc.
Typical Case
The booster station of the Gulin Huocaoping 50MW wind power project has successfully achieved one-time electrification, undertaking the important task of boosting and transmitting the electricity generated by the wind turbine to the power grid.
Offshore wind power booster station: such as the 300 MW offshore wind power project of Three Gorges Energy Dafeng H8-2, located 72 kilometers from the coastline, the booster station is the "heart" of offshore wind farms.
The booster station is an indispensable key facility in the power system, which ensures efficient transmission of electrical energy and stable operation of the power grid.
