Abstract:
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an apparatus includes a transformer having a set of input terminals, a first set of output terminals, and a second set of output terminals. First and second rectifiers are coupled to the first and second sets of output terminals, respectively. The transformer is configured to transform three phase alternating current (AC) provided to the set of input terminals into first and second three phase AC outputs at the first and second sets of output terminals, respectively. The first three phase AC output is phase shifted from the second three phase AC output.
Abstract:
For open loop phase pre-charge, an apparatus includes a Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) charging diode and a charge generator. The SMPS charging diode pre-charges an SMPS to a regulation set point from at least one phase of an Alternating Current (AC) voltage. The charge generator is powered by the pre-charged SMPS. In response to detecting the regulation set point iteratively, the charge generator detects a specified phase angle of the AC voltage. In response to the specified phase angle, the charge generator iteratively generates a charging voltage during positive voltage interval that charges a Direct Current (DC) bus capacitor to a target DC bus voltage within a charging time interval. At least a portion of the charge generator comprises one or more of hardware and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more computer readable storage media.

Abstract:
A wind farm side voltage source converter (32; 94) comprises a DC terminal (40) for connection to a DC transmission link (38), an AC terminal (42) for connection to a wind farm (44) that includes at least one wind turbine (46), and a main controller (10; 20; 96). The main controller (10; 20; 96) is configured to modify an active power demand (P demand ) of the voltage source converter (32; 94) which is received from a higher level controller by introducing an artificial inertia factor and/or in response to a measured DC voltage (V dc_msr ) at the DC terminal (40).
