TL;DR: Simulations carried-out on a 1.5 MW direct-driven grid-connected MCT generation system demonstrate that the association of the generator side filter strategy with the SC ESS system achieves a smoothed grid-injected power in case of swell disturbances.

TL;DR: Comparison of various energy storage technologies for marine application shows that high-energy batteries like sodium-sulphur battery and flow battery are favorable for smoothing the long-period power fluctuation due to the tide phenomenon while supercapacitors and flywheels are suitable for eliminating short- period power disturbances due to swell or turbulence phenomena.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a systemic design approach of the generator that takes into account the power limitation requirement of the turbine at high speed without using variable pitch system, and obtained results show the feasibility of their approach to satisfy the control strategy requirements.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the design of direct-drive permanent-magnet generators associated with horizontal axis tidal turbines and found that the active parts costs are minimized when the generator diameter is around 1/3 of the turbine diameter for the considered specifications.

TL;DR: In this paper, three optimized control strategies are compared in terms of efficiency and associated torque/speed characteristics of a new kind of PM synchronous machine with five phases and electromotive forces whose first and third harmonics are of similar amplitude.
