2. Control and Diagnosis of Faults in Multiphase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators for High-Power Wind Turbines

In recent years, wind turbines (WTs) have been increasingly installed offshore to take advantage of the stronger and steadier wind resources available in these areas (Anaya-Lara et al. 2014). According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), by the end of 2021, the installed capacity of offshore wind power grew to 57.2 GW, representing a 19.6% growth compared to 2020 (Williams et al. 2022). However, offshore WTs are subjected to more faults and downtime due to accessibility difficulties and harsh environments, which increases their maintenance costs compared to onshore WTs (Anaya-Lara et al. 2018). Hence, developing appropriate control strategies and diagnostic algorithms for offshore WTs is essential to improve their reliability (Faulstich et al. 2011).
