Abstract
Wind energy collection/transmission systems are briefly reviewed, and the trend towards the use of a medium voltage DC collecting grid is identified by illustrating the market penetration of wind energy. The required technological change brings new challenges especially for the design of DC/DC converter topologies. The paper reviews topologies that have mainly been applied in transmission application and design issues to satisfy the main grid connection requirements are summarized.
