Abstract:
A method for controlling an energy conversion system (20) is provided. The system comprises a rotating electrical machine (22), a machine-side converter (24), a DC-link (26) and a grid-side converter (28). The method comprises modulating the machine-side converter (24) for converting an AC voltage of the rotating electrical machine (22) into a DC voltage supplied to the DC-link (26); and modulating the grid-side converter (28) to convert a DC-link voltage at the DC-link (26) into an AC output voltage to be supplied to an electrical grid, wherein the machine-side converter (24) is modulated with first optimized pulse patterns, which have been optimized such that a peak value of the DC-link voltage or of a DC-link voltage component of the DC-link voltage is constrained to a predetermined value.
