4 FAQs about Wind power plant DC system

Are DC collection grids suitable for offshore wind farms?

This paper has reviewed some configurations of DC collection grids for offshore wind farms including the WT-generator systems, the power electronics converter topologies, and the control and protection methods. Several topologies of power converters being used into the WECUs are described.

Does a DC wind turbine run stably?

The simulation results show that the system runs stably when the rated power output of the DC wind turbine is achieved. In order to facilitate the analysis of the operating characteristics of the system, the output characteristics of the DC wind turbine are represented by the DC component of the outlet voltage.

Is there a series-parallel structure for all-DC wind power generation systems?

Due to the various drawbacks of traditional AC wind farms, this article proposes a new series–parallel structure for all-DC wind power generation systems with typical characteristics of DC convergence and DC transmission. Compared to general series DC wind farms, the topology proposed in this article incorporates a parallel part.

Why do wind turbines use DC/DC platforms?

Compared with traditional voltage source converter (VSC) platforms, the DC/DC platforms are smaller and reduce the voltage stress of wind turbines, making the parallel scheme more attractive. A higher transformation ratio with a smaller volume is more urgent. The fault isolation and multilevel coordinate control strategy should be analyzed further.
