Wind turbine inverter manufacturers

What is a wind turbine inverter kit?

Our wind turbine Inverter kits utilise the latest in 6 or 12 pulse AFE technology (25kW- 2MW) allowing for unity Power Factors to be maintained. Many wind turbines only generate at a fixed speed relative to the frequency of the grid either 50Hz or 60Hz. This limits the efficiency at lower wind speeds and may not be able to generate at all.

What is a wind turbine controller & inverter?

Our controller stores the wind turbine power curve and manages the inverter. Using this system, we continue to supply controllers and inverters for small wind and micro hydro systems.

Does ABB offer wind turbine converters?

ABB offers wind turbine converters for utility-scale wind turbines. ABB wind turbine converters, suitable for any of today’s turbine concepts, deliver durable, reliable performance and are backed by a complete set of life-cycle services.

What happened to wind inverters?

In recent times, mainstream manufacturers have ceased production of wind inverters, most notably SMA Windy Boy and Power One / Aurora / ABB. We have worked closely with ABB and have modified our controllers so they override the MPPT tracking in solar inverters. Our controller stores the wind turbine power curve and manages the inverter.

How does a wind turbine inverter work?

The electricity produced is in DC so needs to be fed through an Inverter which in turn converts the electricity into AC which can be fed back into the Grid. Our wind turbine Inverter kits utilise the latest in 6 or 12 pulse AFE technology (25kW- 2MW) allowing for unity Power Factors to be maintained.

Why is power electronics important for solar inverter & wind turbine manufacturers?

At Danfoss, we know that power electronics are essential to help solar inverter and wind turbine manufacturers maintain competitiveness. Danfoss provides support in reaching stringent cost and efficiency targets over the long term.
