Recognizing the rising attraction of offshore wind energy farms, this graduate text introduces the design and operation of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines, fully-rated converter wind turbines, offshore wind farm electrical systems, options for fault protection, controllers for load mitigation, and energy storage systems. Case studies illustrate the connection of large-scale offshore wind farms to ac onshore grids via VSC-HVDC transmission. An appendix describes the operating principles and modulation methods of the most commonly used voltage source converter topologies. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
