Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to configurations of power conversion systems for wind turbine generators. For example, certain aspects are directed to a multi-rotor wind turbine. The multi-rotor wind turbine generally includes a plurality of rotors, each coupled to a plurality of electrical generators, one or more machine-side converters, MSCs, coupled to the electrical generators of each of the plurality of rotors and configured to generate at least one direct-current, DC, signal, and one or more line-side converters, LSCs, coupled to the MSCs and configured to generate at least one AC signal based on the at least one DC signal.
