Abstract :
The paper gives an overview of HVAC and HVDC connection of wind farm to the grid, with an emphasis on voltage source converter (VSC)-based HVDC for large wind farms requiring long distance cable connection. Flexible control capabilities of a VSC-based HVDC system enables smooth integration of wind farm into the power grid network while meeting the grid code requirements (GCR). Operation of a wind farm with VSC-based HVDC connection is described.
