| Abstract |
HVDC transmission becomes more important for wind farms located over hundred kilometres from theshore. For offshore wind farms decoupled by HVDC transmission, frequency is a degree of freedom.State of the art for offshore wind farms is a 50Hz AC distribution grid.In this paper the effects of a higher line frequency on the main parts of an offshore wind farm are investigated.The main advantages and drawbacks are revealed and compared to a wind farm topology usinga DC distribution grid. A loss calculation for a whole wind farm was done to highlight the opportunitiesand restrictions. |
