Decentralized control of converter for high voltage and high power applications

DESCRIPTION

• Decentralized modular solution for serial converter control
• Duplication and integration (“copy/paste”) of a unique control module to each switching cell regardless the number of legs
• Reduction of the efforts (less data to be exchanged) on the supervisor by distributing them among several switching cells
• Interconnection of control modules in a daisy-chaining configuration providing a balanced and dynamic control system
• Considerable simplification and reduction in wiring of the control of the overall converter
• No service disruption in case of component failure

APPLICATIONS

• Electrical power transmission networks (HVAC or HVDC)
• SmartGrids (MVAC or MVDC)
• Frequency converter for Railway Networks
• Wind power system
• Metallurgy
