Abstract
The rapid growth of offshore wind power presents an essential solution in meeting global energy demands while addressing environmental concerns. Europe, especially the UK and Germany, leads in offshore wind power capacity, with estimates projecting 99 GW by 2030. The prevalent transmission technology, VSC-HVDC, offers independent control and reduced losses. However, integrating offshore wind power into existing grids poses challenges. Steady-state and dynamic analyses are crucial for system stability. This review explores transmission technologies, focusing on HVAC, HVDC, hybrid systems, point-to-point vs. multi-terminal transmission, and innovative floating substations. Additionally, it delves into emerging issues like small-signal stability, grid integration challenges, and the use of power hydraulic systems in wind turbine applications. The paper also discusses the global shift towards renewables and the urgency to address environmental concerns, making offshore wind power an indispensable component of the energy landscape.
