The aim of this paper is to analyse, from the technical and economic point of view, the suitability of a proposed Offshore Wind Power Plant (OWPP) scheme based on removing the individual power converters of each wind turbine and connecting a turbine cluster (or an entire WPP) to a single large...

In the past decade, wind power generation has taken center stage in renewable energy development. Currently, the mainstream power-train of a wind turbine system consists of mechanically geared doubly-fed induction generator with a partially rated converter. However, gearbox failures account for...

Fuel traffic to the Syowa Base of the South Pole is increasing from Japan, with growing research and observation occurring every year. Limits to fuel traffic and the spread of green energy utilization are topics of interest for Syowa Base; this research considers the construction of a Syowa Base...
