Grid Connection of Wave Power Farm Using an N-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Multilevel Inverter

An N-level cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter is proposed for grid connection of large wave power farms. The point-absorber wave energy converters are individually rectified and used as isolated DC-sources. The variable power characteristics of the wave energy converters are discussed, and a meth...
