Introduction

This book provides a detailed study of the active control methods for large-scale offshore wind farms connected via flexible high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission systems. Firstly, it introduces the basic structure and fundamental control of offshore wind farms connected via VSC-HVDC systems, and proposes a vector modeling method for them.

Fault Analysis and Suppression

Furthermore, it analyzes the fault characteristics of offshore wind farms connected via VSC-HVDC systems under different fault conditions, and proposes an active fault suppression method based on energy control.

Grid Support and Control Methods

Finally, it introduces the method of offshore wind farms connected via VSC-HVDC systems to support the grid frequency. From basic concepts to self-active safety control, and then to active support control of the grid, this book systematically introduces the active control methods of large-scale offshore wind farms connected via VSC-HVDC systems. In particular, it introduces some advanced control methods from the perspective of energy.

Target Audience

This book is a useful reference for undergraduate and graduate students interested in offshore wind farms and VSC-HVDC, researchers studying fault ride-through and active frequency support of offshore wind farms connected via VSC-HVDC systems, as well as engineers.
