Large grid-connected arrays of turbines are becoming an increasingly important source of commercial electric power. Wind turbine systems are usually generators with more than 2 MW of power and typically variable speed types. Solid-state power converters are used to interface the generator and power transmission system. Conversion efficiency, high reliability, and low maintenance are typical requirements for these systems. In addition, all wind turbine systems must be equipped with safety systems to prevent damage due to high wind speed or any other gridor system-related problems. page 2 Wind Turbine : AC / Grid Filter, Filter Power Resistor Power Resistor Product Name LPS800 Status NEW Description Thick Film High Power Resistor for Heatsink Mounting Features 800W@85°C Tcase Non inductive Low termal radiation Package Q-Level HeatSink Mount 57x50x25.8 page 3 Wind Turbine : Blade Pitch Control, Motor Control Motor Drive Product Name VS -VSKDS409/150 Status NEW Description Power Modules Schottky Rectifier, 200 A ADD-A-PAK - 2 diodes in series Generation VII construction Features IF(AV)=200A IFSM=20KAmp Package Q-Level MODULE ADD-A-PAK page 4 Wind Turbine : Condition Monitoring, Grid Quality Voltage Sensor Product Name SMM0204 Status Description Thin Film Mini-MELF Resistors Excellent stability and pulse handling Advanced thin film technology Features Low TCR 15ppm - 50ppm High Pulse Load Package SMD MELF 0204 Q-Level AEC-Q page 5 Wind Turbine : Power Converter / Main Inverter, Crowbar Unit Crowbar Resistor Product Name ULDCR00 Status NEW Description Stainless Steel Braking/Crowbar Resist Modular system - user expandable High pulse energy capability up to 3.5MJ Features R Value 5mΩ to 120mΩ Top: - 55 °C to + 375 °C TCR 900ppm/K Package Q-Level Rack Mount page 6 page 7
