Abstract

In this paper, a unique LFAC transmission topology is analyzed. The projected system differs from previous work in that the wind turbines area unit assumed to be interconnected with a medium-voltage (MV) dc grid, in distinction with current follow, wherever the employment of MV ac assortment grids is normal. DC assortment is turning into a possible alternative with the event of efficient and reliable dc circuit breakers, and studies have shown that it'd be advantageous with relevancy an assortment in terms of potency and improved production prices.

This paper presents a low-frequency ac (LFAC) gear mechanism for offshore alternative energy. The LFAC system is interfaced with the most grids with a cyclo converter. The alternative energy plant assortment system is dc primarily based, and connects to the LFAC cable with a 12-pulse thyristor convertor. A technique to style the system’s elements and controls is about forth. Simulation results area unit provided let's say the system’s performance.
