Abstract:
A wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine comprises a generator, a power converter for converting at least a portion of electrical power generated by the generator, an energy dissipating unit and a controller. The power converter comprises a generator-side converter, a grid-side converter and a DC (direct current) link there between. The energy dissipating unit is operatively coupled to the DC-link. The controller is adapted to activate the energy dissipating unit to dissipate energy from the DC-link in response to a shutdown request.
