| Abstract | Conventional wind farms have a medium voltage AC (MVAC) grid that collects the power from the individual wind turbines and one or two transformer substations that facilitate high voltage AC (HVAC) power transmission. Since the output voltage of a wind turbine is too low for effective power transmission, it is stepped-up to a medium voltage level through individual transformers to facilitate short distance power transmission to the substation for further voltage boost. The AC transformers are bulky and typically located in the immediate vicinity of the turbines and in off-shore wind farms, marginally rated transformers are usually installed in the turbine's nacelle. In order to provide efficient long distance power transmission from the wind farms, HVAC links are now being replaced by high voltage DC (HVDC) links where the bulky transformers are replaced by DC/DC step-up converters. In this paper, a new medium voltage step-up resonant DC/DC converter is proposed for high power wind turbines in offshore wind energy systems. The proposed converter features zero voltage switching and low voltage stress across the power transistors. Four strings of switch pairs are connected in series in the proposed converter so that the voltage stress across each power transistor is equal to only a quarter of the input DC voltage. The circuit's operating principles will be discussed in this paper. Simulation results and experimental results on a proof-of-concept prototype are provided to highlight the merits of the proposed converter. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
