Funded Activity Summary

Low Loss Distributed Wind Generators with Reduced Electromagnetic Interference and Shaft Voltage Based on Multilevel Converters. Distributed wind generators with minimum electromagnetic interference and bearing spikes are very important for the Australian energy industry because they are an environmentally friendly energy source.  Predicting and reducing electromagnetic interferences and mechanical failures in wind farm systems is an important issue especially for the next generation of wind systems when fast and advanced power electronic switches can create more EMI noise for both onshore and offshore wind farms. Medium-Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) systems have good performance and low losses, and are of particular interest to states which are close to wind power sources.
