Cover Story: The assessment of the energy potential of offshore wind turbines for specific sites is the key factor that defines their successful implementation, commercialization, and sustainability. The data used for this assessment refer to wind speed measurements. However, the data may not present homogeneity due to incomplete or missing entries coming from failures of the meters or other factors. This can lead to limitations in the energy potential assessment. Computational intelligence algorithms can be utilized for the filling of the incomplete and missing data in order to build complete wind speed for assessing the energy potential of a specific offshore site.

  • Florent Becker,
  • Ehsan Jamshidpour,
  • Philippe Poure and
  • Shahrokh Saadate

In this paper, a so-called OPTimized Pulse Width Modulation (OPT-PWM) strategy with a minimal number of commutations for a multilevel converter (MC) is proposed. The principle is based on the reduction of the number of switch commutations by removing...
