Abstract

With the increasing scale of offshore wind power, large-capacity and long-distance offshore wind power will be a trend in the future development of wind power. However, compared with onshore wind power transmission, offshore wind power transmission is more difficult and costly. Therefore, it is of great practical significance and urgency to select the appropriate power transmission mode to realize the long-distance transmission of large-capacity offshore wind power. Since the selection of offshore wind power transmission mode is a multiple attribute decision making problem, in this paper, the technical characteristics of high voltage alternating current (HVAC) and voltage source converter based on high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) that are already in use and hybrid HVDC that is possible to be used in offshore wind power transmission in the future are discussed. Based on this analysis, the reliability, economy and construction difficulty of offshore wind power transmission mode are systematically analyzed, and VIKOR method is applied to group decision-making for the selection of offshore wind power transmission mode. The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) the characteristics of large-capacity and long-distance offshore wind power transmission are studied, and the evaluation system with multiple indexes including a large number of qualitative indexes is constructed from the technical, economic and social aspects. In order to deal with difficult problems of fuzzy information, interval numbers, language variables, intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and other data types are used to deal with them effectively. (2) In the VIKOR method, because the expert weights are unknown in group decision-making, the expert trust function is used to objectively determine the weight of each expert. (3) The group decision-making analysis of actual case of offshore wind power plant is carried out by using expert knowledge and VIKOR method. The case shows that this method is simple, reasonable and practical.
