Abstract
Recently, offshore wind farms have attracted more and more attention because of their greater energy capacity. To get the best performances of a wind farm park, a technical and economic compromise between energy yields and overall investment must be established. In this paper, a study was done on Borssele I & II offshore wind farm with HVAC and HVDC transmission technologies to compare their performances with different transmission distances.
