Wind energy conversion technologies and engineering approaches to enhancing wind power generation: A review

“…Hence, critical consideration is required in this regard to possibly work on design advancement of this converter for its broader application in wind farms. ANPC [ 27 , 28 ] Largely applicable for offshore-based wind farms than for onshore-based ones Three partial converters that are based on half-bridge modules make up the advanced topology of this converter. Its operation can be severely affected by a short-circuit fault, and some studies proposed methods to deal with this challenge.…”

“…Several additional designs of converter technologies were also proposed in the multiple studies for applications in the wind power industries. These include DCC [ 20 , 24 ], NPC [ 25 , 26 ], ANPC [ 27 , 28 ], etc., and they were introduced to be employed in the wind farms of large-scale power capacities that are mainly based on PMSG systems. In addition, similar studies were indicating that these converters are yet to be sufficiently matured for the smooth practical applications in the recent wind farm trends.…”
