Why hybrid

A huge coefficient of performance loss and

distribute-energy-producing flows are low
percentage. Thats why; if only offshore-wind
turbine must be connected with the huge
capacity size battery for continuous flow and for
power system steady unless wind power will be
an unacceptable consequence that may
threaten the power system stability.
The tidal energy conclude that tidal stream
capacity factors are significantly greater than for
wind energy.

 The integration of wind power in the Offshorewind turbine system leads to minimum load
problems at high levels of installed wind power
capacity, in their blades has contributed to
low rotational inertia.
The proposed HOTT is more flexible than the
single system, so that the stable generation
ranges of the wind/tidal conditions can
extended by adequate system control strategy.
The advance simulation study have to be
carried out to ensure stability and also gives a
better understanding of the control aspects
required to make it more efficient.

 A Induction Generator supplies the ac power at

the sending end and controls the ac voltage at the
sending end. The inverter controls the ac voltage
magnitude, and the dc voltage. Pulse width
modulation are employed to control the operation
of the converters at both ends.
The control system is designed such that the
sending end (or the rectifier end) controls the
amount for wind/tidal and the power transferred
across the dc link, and the receiving end (or the
inverter end) controls the dc voltage. So a
constant dc power in the system , the voltage at
the dc line should be constant.

ADVANTAGE HOTT (Entire system)

1) Offers better stability and control.
2) The capital cost of civil works is reducing.
3) Disruption to ecosystems and boating is minimized.

4) Ocean currents, wind-induced currents and as well as tidal flows

can be used. There is no need for a large tidal rise and fall.
5) No fuel-absence of CO2 emissions, radiation and particulate matter
pollution
6) No waste of disposal requirements, and no danger of spillage or
other environmental damage
7) No noise pollution. No visual pollution.
8) No negative impact on marine life. In fact, can encourage growth of
marine life and reduces shoreline erosion.

Conclusion
The PSCAD simulation results with a HOTT 6.3 MW+ test
system demonstrate satisfactory operation for a range of wind
and tidal speeds using 6-pulse GTO rectifier DC connection and
inverter, it was successfully simulated by PSCAD/EMTDC.
The key techniques of offshore-wind and tidal power
estimation, electric transmission and connection, system and
stability operation, system investigation, reactive power and
voltage control strategy, the interaction between offshore-wind
and tidal turbine.
HOTT will be competitive lead in its field, together with the most
efficient technology and uniquely practical methods for servicing
it. In short we believe our technology meets a huge new need,
and can deliver energy in future, as predictably as the tides that
drive it and with minimal risk to the local environment.
