Abstract
A DC connection system for renewable power generators includes a first monopole DC collection network, a second monopole DC collection network and a first bipole transmission system. The first monopole DC collection network aggregates positive-valued DC voltage outputs of a first cluster of renewable power generators onto a positive terminal of the first monopole DC collection network. The second monopole DC collection network aggregates negative-valued DC voltage outputs of a second cluster of renewable power generators onto a negative terminal of the second monopole DC collection network. The first bipole transmission system is coupled to the positive and negative terminals of the monopole DC collection networks, for transferring the aggregated power to a power grid substation.
