A Novel Decoupled Interconnecting Method for Current-Source Converter-Based Offshore Wind Farms

Abstract

This paper presents a novel interconnecting approach for the permanent-magnet synchronous generator-based offshore wind farm, where cascaded pulsewidth modulated (PWM) current-source converters (CSCs) are employed on both generator- and grid-side. The total numbers of cascaded PWM CSCs for the onshore grid connection are equal to the number of wind generators installed in the wind farm. The proposed interconnecting method enables simple …
