"A Novel Configuration of a Hybrid Offshore Wind-Wave Energy Conversion" by Safdar Rasool, Kashem M. Muttaqi et al.
This paper aims to develop a novel hybrid offshore wind-wave energy conversion system (HOW-WECS) configuration which can successfully feed a stable power to the customers of remote communities in near-shore areas or remote islands. The proposed configuration uses a minimum number of converters for the integration of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy system with the direct-drive linear permanent magnet generator (DDLPMG)-based wave energy system. Advanced control schemes for the DFIG and the DDLPMG are presented to enhance the power extraction from the implemented HOW-...
