Preferred offshore power grids for wind energy

Offshore wind energy has become a very hot topic in northwest Europe, both from an industrial as from an academic point of view. Research on transmission grids for offshore wind energy focuses predominately on radial grids and HVDC. This study broadens this general scope by taken mesh grids and HVAC as the starting point. With the use of load...
