A Novel commutation sequence for the three-level active neutral-point-clamped inverter to aid in splitting switching and conduction losses among the semiconductor devices
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe three-level neutral-point-clamped (3L-NPC) topology is competitive in the large wind energy conversion systems (WECS) thanks to its simple implementation and proper performance compared to other topologies. However, ... -
Analysis of reactive power strategies in HVDC-connected wind power plant clusters
(2017-12)
Article
Open Access© 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Offshore wind power plants (WPPs) built near each other but far from shore usually connect to the main grid by a common high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission system. In the resulting decoupled ... -
Enhanced power device configuration and operation of a grid-connected active-neutralpoint- clamped inverter for wind energy conversion systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)
Conference lecture
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe power ratings of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are increasing considerably due to high demand on wind power. Thus, multilevel power converters are becoming an interesting solution in the largest WECS, especially ... -
Extended current limitation for unbalanced faults in MMC–HVDC–connected wind power plants
(2017-12-20)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIEEE Modular multilevel converters (MMCs) are currently used in a number of high–voltage dc (HVdc) projects connecting very remote offshore wind power plants (WPPs) to shore. For this application the offshore high–voltage ... -
Handling of unbalanced faults in HVDC-connected wind power plants
(2017-11)
Article
Open AccessHigh-voltage DC (HVDC) connections enable integration of wind power plants located very far from shore. The decoupled AC offshore grid comprises multiple WT converters, and the voltage magnitude and frequency is primarily ... -
Optimization-based reactive power control in HVDC-connected wind power plants
(2017-08-01)
Article
Open AccessOne application of high–voltage dc (HVdc) systems is the connection of remotely located offshore wind power plants (WPPs). In these systems, the offshore WPP grid and the synchronous main grid operate in decoupled mode, ...
