Potential of silicon carbide MOSFETs in the DC/DC converters for future HVDC offshore wind farms

Potential of silicon carbide MOSFETs in the DC/DC converters for future HVDC offshore wind farms

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is more and more often implemented for long distance electrical energy transmission, especially for off-shore wind farms. In this study, a full DC off-shore wind farm, which requires a high-power and high-voltage DC/DC converter, is considered. In order to reduce t...
