Abstract: This study paper presents an offshore wind farm connected to an 18-pulse diode rectifier for efficient power transmission and harmonic mitigation. The proposed configuration utilizes a combination of wind turbines, transformers, and an 18-pulse diode rectifier to minimize harmonic distortion and ensure compliance with grid codes. This study paper presents a bipolar high voltage direct current (HVdc) link for offshore wind farms (OWFs) connection.
