Medium voltage wind turbine converter
Designed for larger turbines, ABB’s medium voltage full power converters are characterized by low parts count, high availability and minimized losses. The higher voltage level of MV converters means lower currents in the electrical drivetrain, along with an easier integration of the converter into the turbine. The converters can be designed for nacelle or tower base installation, and their modularity allows easy customization to meet customer requirements. Fault ride-through and grid code compliance capabilities are also provided.
