AWE 900 Series Power Converter Systems are back to back inverters designed to provide full four quadrant power from wind turbine synchronous generators to the grid.
Model configurations are designed to meet North American or European standards.
Power Converter Features
- Design allows for power production at low wind speeds
- System is capable of handling voltage overshoots due to over speed, sudden absence of the stator current or grid failure
- Controls power from a variable speed, direct drive turbine
- 30 Year Life Converter
- Easy Service
- High Efficiency
- Rugged Operation
- Controls output power factor
- Controls line interaction
Controls
- Parallel Processing for control redundancy
- Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) based controls for high reliability
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology is used only for monitoring communication & non-essential tasks
Power Modules
- Increased power switching capability
- IGBT Modules with integrated drivers
- Internal Module Protection makes IGBT semiconductors virtually indestructible
- Power modules of proven reliability with over 7 million hours MTBF
- Longer lasting self healing film type DC link capacitors
