Operation and Selection of Multilevel Power Converters for Doubly Fed Induction Generator-based Wind Turbines

Operation of Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbine with 3-Level back-to-back converter has been discussed. Converter operation and loss analysis on a 3.2 MW-60Hz turbine shows that classical NPC converter is suitable for line side converter, while Active-NPC (ANPC) converter is op...

Summary:Operation of Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbine with 3-Level back-to-back converter has been discussed. Converter operation and loss analysis on a 3.2 MW-60Hz turbine shows that classical NPC converter is suitable for line side converter, while Active-NPC (ANPC) converter is optimal for rotor side converter realization.
