Abstract :
In this paper we review offshore wind energy for generating electricity at off-shore sites. In particular, we survey the impacts of offshore wind integration into the grid, various types of generators and their dynamic modeling, fault ride-through techniques used to improve generator and grid integration performance, the aggregated wind turbines modeling and finally highlight some stability and control issues.
