The increasing penetration of offshore wind power generation promotes the revolution of
wind turbine toward high-power application. The development of high-power wind turbine …

There is more wind with less turbulence offshore compared with an onshore case, which
drives the development of the offshore wind farm worldwide. Since a huge amount of money …

Recent advances in solid-state semiconductors have led to the development of medium-
voltage power converters (eg, 6-36 kV) which could obviate the need for the step-up …

A review of the electrical collection systems in offshore wind farms (OWFs) is presented in
this paper. The review is based on a categorization of offshore wind power electrical …

The use of MVDC collector systems has been proposed as a way to reduce the levelised
cost of energy (LCOE) of offshore wind farms. This study provides a quantitative assessment …

In this paper, the concept of an all-dc wind park with series-connected turbines is
investigated as an alternative to the classical ac parallel or radial wind park. This paper …

This paper presents a “distributed high-voltage dc (HVDC) converter” for offshore wind
farms. The proposed converter topology allows series interconnection of wind turbines with …

In order to minimize the wake loss, wind turbines (WT) should be separated with large
intervening spaces. However, this will incur an increase in the capital expenditure on …

DC series-parallel collection system has recently been widely discussed for integrating deep-
sea OWFs because it saves the offshore HVDC stations. However, comparing with …

A technical and economic comparison is made between DC and AC collection systems of
offshore wind farms. DC collection systems have the advantages of reduced weight and size …
