Full power converter wind turbine

State-of-the-art power module packages for full power converter-based wind turbines

nobutton

Overview

In a full converter wind turbine, a generator is fully decoupled from the grid by the converter; the entire wind turbine power flows through the converter. Full converters for low-, medium- and high-speed generators provide maximum flexibility to meet LVRT and other grid stability requirements. Our IGBTs enable modular and scalable power converter designs, thereby helping our customers to realize larger power rated wind turbines.

Benefits

  • Maximum flexibility
  • Power converter designs
  • Power range between 1 MW and 10 MW
  • Larger power rated wind turbines
  • Various compatible products
  • High stability requirements

About

Products for full converter based wind turbines

PrimePACK™ 3+ is a state-of-the-art power module package for full converters. Apart from IGBT5 .XT, we also recommend PrimePACK™, EconoDUAL™, and EconoPACK™+ with IGBT4 chip technology for full-converter-based wind turbines.

Product highlights: PrimePACK™ 3+

PrimePACK™ is the optimal choice for the majority of high-power inverters like wind power units. IGBT5 and .XT are the dawning of a new era in IGBT chip and interconnection technologies. IGBT5 allows higher power density, whereas the new interconnection technology .XT extends lifetime by increased thermal and power cycling capabilities.
