| Abstract |
This paper describes the performance comparison results for a hybrid back-to-back converter, which is composed of a 3-level 24-pulse converter and a 3-level PWM converter, in order to interconnect a large scale wind farm with the power grid. Also it describes the performance comparison results when the 24-pulse converter operates in only firing-angle control, and both firing-angle and the zero-voltage control. For the purpose of systematic performance comparison, computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software were carried out, and based on simulation results a scaled hardware model with 2 kVA rating was built and tested. |
