Development of 8 MVA class power stack for offshore wind power conversion

Abstract

Offshore wind power generation is one of the viable solutions for the safety of energy consumption, and the growing concerns for environmental protection and the petroleum crisis. The advantages of wind power generation which are comparatively stable wind speed in the sea, fewer developing interest relative sides, and non-trying for land with other projects, large scale of offshore wind farm building becomes a new trend for wind power industry. Offshore wind power can becomes a viable alternative only if that is able to meet certain reliability, performance, and cost criteria. In this paper, the authors developed and evaluated power stack by considering their influence on the performance. The evaluations is demonstrated experimentally. © 2015, European Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ). All rights reserved.
