American Superconductor Corporation (AMSC) has announced the launch of its proprietary PowerModule PM3000W power converter, a fully programmable, flexible and modular power converter developed specifically for wind power applications.
This scalable solution is designed for a wide range of wind turbines with power ratings from 750kW up to 6MW. AMSC developed the PM3000W converter based on its core capabilities in power electronics hardware and software, the design and licensing of wind turbines, knowledge gained in the deployment of their PowerModule PM1000 converters in wind turbines, and the company's experience connecting wind farms to power grids utilizing its proprietary D-VAR(R) solution. Wind-specific PM3000W converters incorporate algorithms and external communication protocols to enable universal generator connectivity.
