A Medium-Frequency Transformer-Based Wind Energy Conversion System Used for Current-Source Converter-Based Offshore Wind Farm

Abstract

Offshore wind farms with series-interconnected structures are promising configurations because bulky and costly offshore substations can be eliminated. In this paper, a medium-frequency transformer (MFT)-based wind energy conversion system is proposed for such wind farms based on current source converters. The presented configuration consists of a medium-voltage permanent magnet synchronous generator that is connected to a low-cost passive …
