ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF MEDIUM VOLTAGE HIGH POWER DC/DC CONVERTERS FOR OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY SYSTEMS

ABSTRACT:
Offshore wind farm with an internal medium-voltage dc (MVDC)-grid collection connected HVDC transmission may be an option to harvest offshore wind energy High-power MV dc!dc converters with highstep-up conversion ratios are the "ey components for the internal MVDC grid #n this paper$ a highefficiency step-up resonant switched-capacitor converter for offshore wind energy system is studied$ which is characteri%ed by the soft-switching condition for all switches and diodes &his significantly reduces switching losses and higher switching fre'uency is feasible to reduce the overall system volume and weight &he comparisons with other two "inds of topologies are also presented( moreover$ the possible specification re'uirements of high power MV dc!dc converters are analy%ed and set &he operation principle of the proposed converter has been successfully verified by simulation and e)periment results
