Abstract

The potential to harness offshore wind power and transmit that energy to shore is of widespread interest in the electric power and energy industry sector, as well as within U.S. government agencies such as the Department of Energy. Studies are currently being conducted to find optimal placement of offshore wind turbines along the perimeter of the United States coast lines, and evaluations of current technology solutions for transmitting the electrical energy onshore are being investigated. Transmitting high capacities of energy from sea to shore presents a significant challenge due to the need for a very efficient, robust, and reliable technical solution that must be cost effective. High Voltage AC (HVAC) and two forms of High Voltage DC (HVDC), Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based and Line Commutated-Converter (LCC) based, are possible transmission solutions to these challenges. Therefore, we present herein the applicability of these topologies for offshore wind power transmission and present the necessary procedures to select the most cost effective solution for a given application.

海上风电场HVAC和HVDC解决方案的比较及系统经济评估程序

利用海上风力发电并将其传输到岸上的潜力引起了电力和能源行业以及能源部等美国政府机构的广泛兴趣。目前正在进行研究，以便在美国海岸线周边寻找离岸风力涡轮机的最佳位置，并正在调查对目前向岸上传输电能的技术解决办法的评价。由于需要一种非常高效、强大、可靠的技术解决方案，并且必须具有成本效益，因此将高容量的能源从海上传输到岸上是一项重大挑战。高压交流(HVAC)和两种形式的高压直流(HVDC)，基于电压源变换器(VSC)和基于线路换向变换器(LCC)，是应对这些挑战的可能的传输解决方案。因此，我们在此提出了这些拓扑在海上风电传输中的适用性，并提出了为给定应用选择最具成本效益的解决方案的必要程序。
