Summary

The global development of offshore wind power is accelerating. The current mature 1GW-scale offshore wind power development schemes have many drawbacks, such as high costs and significant occupation of transmission corridors, hindering large-scale centralized offshore wind power development on the order of 10 GW. Targeting the scenario of ultra-large scale offshore wind power in Yangjiang being directly transmitted to inland load centers, this paper studies an offshore-onshore integrated grid connection and transmission scheme based on an onshore DC hub. It proposes configuration schemes for the modular multilevel converter

(MMC) topology, DC circuit breakers (DCCBs), and high-speed switches (HSS) within the DC grid, providing a new solution for the development of multi-gigawatt offshore wind power bases.

For the "hybrid half/full-bridge MMC + HSS" configuration scheme, a surplus power balancing scheme that does not rely on a Centralized Dynamic Braking System (DBS) is proposed and applied to a practical project for the first time. Combined with an engineering example, digital simulations are used to verify the feasibility of the offshore-onshore integrated grid connection and transmission system and its DC fault clearance and ride-through scheme. This supports the commencement of project construction and provides a novel solution for the engineering practice of efficient transmission of ultra-large scale offshore wind power.
