Shipurkar, U. (author), Dong, J. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)Modularity is promising from a view to increasing turbine availability through fault tolerant operation as well as reduced downtimes, especially for offshore wind turbines. This paper focuses on a quantitative analysis of large scale (or extreme) modularity in power electronic converters of wind turbine generator systems. It uses mathematical...journal article 2018

Shipurkar, U. (author), Polinder, H. (author), Ferreira, Jan Abraham (author)Availability is an important factor to be considered when designing wind turbine generator systems. The quest for increasing availability is based on the following five design approaches - design for component reliability, active control for reliability, design for fault tolerance, prognostics, and design for maintainability. This paper reviews...journal article 2016
