HIGH-FREQUENCY UNCONTROLLED RECTIFIER-BASED DC TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR OFFSHORE WIND FARM
DRIVE
August 11, 2022
The present disclosure provides a high-frequency uncontrolled rectifier-based DC transmission system for an offshore wind farm, including a DC system and an offshore AC system. The offshore AC system mainly includes wind turbines based on permanent magnet synchronous generators with full-scale power converters, AC submarine cables, and offshore step-up stations. The DC system includes an offshore station and an onshore station that are connected by DC submarine cables, where a converter of the offshore is a three-phase six-pulse uncontrolled rectifier bridge, while a converter of the onshore station is MMC. Each of the offshore AC system and the offshore station has a rated frequency far above 50 Hz, which can usually be chosen to be in a range of about 100 Hz to 400 Hz. The disclosed transmission system allows for a great reduction in construction costs and demonstrating great application potentials in actual engineering.
