    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to configurations of power conversion systems for wind turbine generators. For example, certain aspects are directed to a multi-rotor wind turbine. The multi-rotor wind turbine generally includes a plurality of rotors, each coupled to a plurality of electrical generators, one or more machine-side converters, MSCs, coupled to the electrical generators of each of the plurality of rotors and configured to generate at least one direct-current, DC, signal, and one or more line-side converters, LSCs, coupled to the MSCs and configured to generate at least one AC signal based on the at least one DC signal.

    摘要: A wind turbine generator 1 is connected to a section 2 of an electricity grid 3 via a converter 4, which converts the ac output power from the generator into three-phase electric power at the voltage and frequency of the grid 3. The converter 4 comprises silicon carbide transistors which act as ON-OFF switches which are controlled so as to create a voltage profile which is the same as that of the grid voltage. Each grid section 2, 2′ has a respective circuit breaker 10, 10′ which disconnects the associated section from the remainder of the grid 3 in the event of an abnormally high current. The converter 2 includes a fault detector 11 arranged to detect grid faults, such as an abnormally low voltage level which, in response, generates an alarm signal which causes a high-level transient current to be supplied to the grid 3 sufficient to trip the circuit breaker 10′ so as to disconnect the faulty section of the grid. By using silicon carbide transistors, which can withstand high operating temperatures, a higher-level current can be generated than would be the case with converters using conventional silicon transistors.

    摘要: A method is provided for reducing an impact of an unbalanced short circuit event that occurs in a polyphase permanent magnet generator of a wind turbine. According to the method, an unbalanced short circuit event is detected in the generator of the wind turbine, and, in response to detecting the unbalanced short circuit event, at least one phase of the generator is shorted at a switch-point between the generator and a converter of the wind turbine to create a balanced short circuit in the generator. By doing so, the torque response of the generator is altered to avoid high amplitude torque oscillations that would otherwise occur as a result of the unbalanced short circuit event.

    摘要: A wind turbine system with a medium voltage (MV) converter system for converting electric power by the wind turbine generator. A housing, e.g. a placed on the ground near the wind turbine tower, encloses the MV converter to block access. An access door with a controllable locking mechanism is controlled by an access control system which unlocks the access door after execution of a safety access algorithm. This allows a person to provide service to the potentially dangerous MV equipment in a safe an automated way after request. The housing preferably has a control compartment where a person can request access and await opening of the access door for safe access to the MV converter.

    摘要: A method, converter arrangement, and controller are disclosed for connecting an output of a converter with an electrical grid to control inrush currents into a grid filter assembly connected with the output of the converter, the electrical grid carrying an alternating current (AC) signal having one or more phases. The method includes determining a voltage of the AC signal and operating, after pre-charging a direct current (DC) link of the converter to a predetermined voltage, the converter using open-loop voltage control to produce an AC output signal that substantially matches the AC signal of the electrical grid. The open-loop voltage control is based on the determined voltage of the AC signal. The method further includes closing, after a predetermined amount of time of operating the converter using the open-loop voltage control, a switching device to thereby connect the output of the converter with the electrical grid.
