Comparison of Various Conversion Topologies for Offshore Wind Power Systems Connected to the Grid

Abstract

This paper serves various simulations and results for different multilevel converters (MLCs) using offshore wind power installations with High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission networks. By simulating different converters for different levels, we can conclude the best suitable converter and levels for various MLC configurations and different control strategies to improve efficiency, performance, and reliability by reducing harmonics in offshore wind power systems. By selecting different parameters and different levels of converters. We can select the best suitable converter for offshore wind power systems. In this paper we are simulating different converters like the Cascade H bridge converter and multi-modular converter (MMC) and the concept of Cascade H bridge converter and multi-modular converter is explained. This paper delivers a complete simulation and results with a clear idea to reduce the harmonics and to boost up the efficiency of the converter for offshore wind power systems.
