OTM System Application Study (OTM-SAS).

Descriptions

The primary objectives of the project are to: (I) Investigate and evaluate opportunities for optimisation in conventional HVAC Offshore Substation Platforms (OSPs) for Offshore Wind Farms (OWFs), other than the proposed Offshore Transformer Module (OTM) concepts, which reduce the number of components; (ii) Investigate the feasibility of the OTM concept in OWF transmission projects in a variety of situations and configurations (standalone or part of another grid solution e.g. HVDC); (iii) Compare market available OTM or ‘OTM like’ solutions with focus on their applicability to commercially available state-of-the-art offshore wind turbines; (iv) Investigate the application of the OTM concept in HVDC grid connections and mid-point compensation HVAC 50 Hz.
