Overview of offshore wind farm configurations

Qiang Wei, Bin Wu, Dewei Xu, Navid R. Zargari

Abstract

Offshore wind energy has been attracting great attention. Compared with onshore wind power systems, offshore wind power applications present significantly greater economic challenges mainly due to the required bulky and costly offshore substation. To lower the cost of offshore wind power systems, various configurations are proposed in both industry and academia. The present work investigates existing offshore wind farm configurations.
