ABB low voltage wind turbine converters are designed to help increase turbine kilowatt-hour production through high availability, grid code compliance and long life cycles.
The converters are designed for all of the turbine main electrical drivetrain concepts: full converter and doubly-fed. ABB liquid-cooled converters feature totally enclosed, compact cabinets protecting the internal electronics from dust, salt, sand and other environmental pollutants.
The converters use ABB’s direct torque control (DTC) for generator control. DTC monitors generator torque 40,000 times per second, ensuring immediate reaction and control.
