Traditionally, the network composition of offshore wind farms consists of alternating current
(AC) grid; all outputs of wind‐energy conversion units (WECUs) on a wind farm are …

This paper presents a detailed comparison between the conventional ac collector-grid
configuration and two proposed dc collector-grid configurations for large photovoltaic (PV) …

Offshore wind power plants (OWPPs) tend to be larger in size and distant from shore. It is
widely accepted that for long distances HVDC links are preferred over HVAC transmission …

This paper presents a theoretical efficiency comparison among the conventional ac collector
grid configuration and two proposed dc collector grid configurations (one with string-pair …

In this study, an economic performance assessment of offshore wind investments is
investigated through electrical topology, capacity factor and line length. First, annual energy …

An increase in industries as well as the world's population, is causing a strain on the
electricity supply. This coupled with the fact that fossil fuel supplies are decreasing, is …

Accurate cable modeling is a recurrent issue for electric architecture evaluation and design,
especially in specific contexts, like offshore wind farms. This paper proposes optimal …

Reduction in the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) can drive the widespread adoption of the
PV and can contribute to sustainable development. Large scale PV parks are gaining …

DC collection system for an offshore wind farm has become an alternative to AC system.
Since the DC system requires high-cost converter technology to be integrated to existing AC …

The idea of building a multi-terminal, even a meshed HVDC grid in the North Sea, that can
inter-connect surrounding nations, is being discussed widely. Such a system is expected to …
