Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A power generation and transmission system, including: a wind turbine having an electrical generator ( 12 ) producing AC electrical power at a production frequency; a converter connected to the electrical generator ( 12 ) and configured to convert the AC electrical power to a transmission frequency below a grid frequency; an insulated transmission cable ( 18 ) connected to the converter and disposed at least partly submarine or subterranean; and a synchronous frequency converter ( 24 ) remote from the wind turbine and configured to receive the AC electrical power from the insulated transmission cable ( 18 ) and to convert it to the grid frequency for supply to a grid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A power generation and transmission system comprising: a wind turbine comprising an electrical generator producing alternating current (AC) electrical power at a production frequency; a first synchronous frequency converter electrically connected to the electrical generator and configured to convert the AC electrical power to AC electrical power characterized by a transmission frequency that is less than a grid frequency; an insulated transmission…
