Abstract:
This review paper offers a comprehensive analysis of multilevel converters (MLCs) within Voltage Source Converter (VSC)-based High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission systems, focusing on their integration with offshore wind power plants. Through an exhaustive exploration, the paper investigates various MLC configurations and control strategies, assessing their potential to enhance the performance, efficiency, and reliability of offshore wind energy integration into the power grid. By examining the intricate interplay between MLCs, VSC-based HVDC systems, and offshore wind power plants, this review aims to provide valuable insights into the evolving landscape of renewable energy integration technologies. Key topics covered include an overview of offshore wind power generation, the significance of HVDC transmission for offshore wind farms, and the role of MLCs in overcoming integration barriers. Furthermore, the paper delves into control strategies, performance evaluation metrics, and future perspectives and challenges. Through its in-depth analysis, this review contributes to a deeper understanding of the potential of MLCs in advancing the efficiency and reliability of VSC-based HVDC systems, ultimately facilitating the seamless integration of offshore wind energy into the broader power grid.
