Abstract:This study presents the design of a large DC series‐parallel windfarm that considers the key operational challenges in determining the optimal generator equipment rating and DC transmission voltage control. With this topology, offshore platform is not needed, but wind speed dispersion over windfarms and generator outage possibilities demand generator DC output voltages beyond their ratings. An optimization algorithm is developed along with a complete cost model, which includes operational and capital costs wit… Show more
