Offshore AC Wind Topology and Design Considerations
With growing concerns over climate change and fossil fuel depletion, the exploitation of renewable energy has become paramount in electricity generation. Currently, wind energy is the fastest-growing power generation resource. The stability of system network operation with a large penetration of wind energy has been one of the most important issues. This topic describes global installed wind capacity, 2025 market outlooks, wind farms topology, turbine configurations, and VAr control including the reactive power contribution by AC submarine cable and Q‑compensation impacts on AC submarine cable (as outlined below).
Topic Outline:
- Introduction
- US’s Net Zero plans
- Global Installed Wind Capacity
- Historic New Installations
- Market Outlook (2021-2025)
- Offshore Wind Farms Topology
- WT Generators
- Wind Turbines Throughout the Decades
- Generator Types and Subsystems
- Type 3 & 4 WTGs’ Configuration
- Control Capability of WTGs
- VAr Contribution by AC Submarine Cable
- Q - Compensation Impacts on AC Cable Power Flow
- Energization of WPP and VAr Control
- Reactive Power Compensation
- Conclusions

Biography:
Dr. Tapan Manna is an Associate Technical Consultant at Burns & McDonnell - T&D. He has a total of 30+ years of experience in the power industry and academia. Tapan obtained his PhD from Tennessee Tech University (TTU). Before migrating to the USA, he worked for 10 years at two large utilities (CESC & WBPDCL) in India. Prior to joining Burns & McDonnell, he was with URS (currently AECOM), Black & Veatch, and Tennessee Tech University.
Dr. Manna’s interests include power systems, power system protection, HV/EHV power apparatus, HVDC and FACTS, grounding impulse, lightning transients, geomagnetic disturbances (GMD), and electromagnetic pulse (EMP). He has delivered over 45 presentations (at Burns & McDonnell, IEEE PES/IAS/PLS/CED Chapters, PES-JTCM, Universities, and Institutions) on various technical topics related to T&D applications.
Dr. Manna is a Professional Engineer, a Chartered Engineer, and a Senior IEEE Member. He has contributed to several IEEE-PES and CIGRE working groups and written several technical articles and papers. Dr. Manna has been recognized many times for his contributions at Burns & McDonnell including the 2019 Keith W. Jeffers Technical Excellence Award.
