High-frequency current source converter for a direct drive powertrain in a wave energy converter

High-frequency current source converter for a direct drive powertrain in a wave energy converter

Wave energy converters (WECs) generally use a mechanical solution such as hydraulics or gearing to optimise the extraction of energy from the incoming waves prior to converting it into electrical energy via a high-speed rotating generator. This simplifies the electrical power conversion system (EPCS...
