Abstract
Wind farms featuring a series-connected dc collection system have been shown to offer advantages in terms of total conversion efficiency and amount of offshore-deployed equipment. To ensure proper exploitation of these benefits, it is necessary to determine the ratings of wind turbine converters. These ratings must be sufficient to cover the expected operating conditions over the life of the wind farm, without unnecessarily oversizing the equipment. As shown in this article, the variable string current results in an interdependence of operating points among wind turbines that has to be considered for sizing these converters. This article proposes a generic sizing framework for such single-string, series-connected dc wind farms. This framework is applied to three wind farm configurations featuring differential power processing, voltage-source converters, and diode-bridge rectifiers and buck converters. Finally, a case study for a 450 MW offshore wind farm demonstrates the implementation of this sizing methodology and quantifies the design tradeoffs between converter ratings and energy production enabled from those converters. In two of the studied wind farm configurations, significant rating reductions are achievable while still avoiding energy curtailment for >99.7% of the energy production of an equivalent ac wind farm.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
