Abstract :
The power of offshore wind turbines are expected to increase to 10 MW and more in the future. This will make today´s technology unsuitable due to increased nacelle weight. Therefore, this work focus on a new modular converter solution, which designed specifically to a generator results in reduced nacelle weight. Additional benefits are redundancy and modularity in the converter.
