摘要: In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, a system and method for controlling the temperature of medium-voltage power electronics assemblies (i.e., medium-voltage drives) is provided. The disclosed system generally includes a medium-voltage drive having one or more cabinets with power electronics devices disposed therein, one or more fans for circulating air through the cabinet to cool the devices, and one or more space heaters disposed in the cabinet. The drive also features temperature sensors used to measure various temperatures of the drive, a controller communicatively coupled to the sensors, and one or more variable frequency drives (VFD) for the fans. The controller may receive measurements regarding the ambient and power device temperatures and apply controls to vary the space heater power and fan speed in response to environmental changes.
