The aim of this paper is to analyse, from the technical and economic point of view, the suitability of a proposed Offshore Wind Power Plant (OWPP) scheme based on removing the individual power converters of each wind turbine and connecting a turbine cluster (or an entire WPP) to a single large...

Offshore wind power plants (OWPPs) tend to be larger in size and distant from shore. It is widely accepted that for long distances HVDC links are preferred over HVAC transmission. Accordingly, one possible approach might be to consider not only a DC transmission system but also for the WPP...
