چکیده
High power and high voltage gain DC-DC converters are key to high-voltage DC (HVDC) power transmission for offshore wind power. This paper presents an isolated ultra-high step-up DC-DC converter in matrix transformer configuration. A flyback-forward converter is adopted as the power cell and the secondary side matrix connection is introduced to increase the power level and to improve fault tolerance. Because of the modular structure of the converter, the stress on the switching devices is decreased and so is the transformer size. The proposed topology can be operated in column interleaved modes, row interleaved modes and hybrid working modes in order to deal with the varying energy from the wind farm. Furthermore, fault tolerant operation is also realized in several fault scenarios. A 400-W DC-DC converter with four cells is prototyped and experimentally tested to validate the proposed technique, which can be applied to high-power highvoltage DC power transmission.

متن کاملAn Interleaved Configuration of Modified KY Converter with High Conversion Ratio for Renewable Energy Applications; Design, Analysis and Implementation
In this paper, a new high efficiency, high step-up, non-isolated, interleaved DC-DC converter for renewable energy applications is presented. In the suggested topology, two modified step-up KY converters are interleaved to obtain a high conversion ratio without the use of coupled inductors. In comparison with the conventional interleaved DC-DC converters such as boost, buck-boost, SEPIC, ZETA a...

High step-up ratio DC-DC converters with megawatt ratings are of interest in wind turbine interfaces and high-voltage direct-current systems. The modular multilevel DC-DC converter based on the standard boost converter topology but with the normal single switches replaced by a number of capacitor-clamped sub-modules. The converter is operated in resonant mode with resonance between sub-module c...
متن کاملInvestigation on Fault-ride Through Methods for VSC-HVDC Connected Offshore Wind Farms
Recently, there has been a fast development and deployment of wind energy to meet the increasing electrical power demand and to limit the use of fossil fuels. More and more wind farms are planned far from shore because of good wind condition and less visual impact. This is so called offshore wind farm (OWF). In such a situation, high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission is a favorable opt...
