This Ingeteam development is part of a suite of electrical components, along with high-performance INDAR generators. Ingeteam's wind turbine converters and generators can be combined and integrated to form a highly optimized and competitive complete power transmission system, suitable for the most demanding marine environments.
The INGECON® WIND FULL POWER CONVERTER MV is the result of a continuous and evolving design process based on HV IGBT semiconductor technology. The evolution of HV IGBT technology in recent years has enabled a solution that increases energy density with minimal changes, offering superior performance compared to other solutions on the market. The use of HV IGBTs, a key technological focus and differentiator for Ingeteam, is a widely used technology that has been proven through years of operation in harsh environments such as traction, marine, and dredging applications.
Ingeteam's Full Converter topology power converters can handle up to 18MW of power thanks to the parallelization of two conversion lines, providing operational redundancy in the event of a conversion line failure. Unlike other solutions, the new INGECON® WIND FULL CONVERTER MV range, based on HV IGBT semiconductor technology, does not require a dual cooling system, enabling it to achieve unparalleled energy density.
Ingeteam also offers two different generator series for full-conversion topologies. The INDAR PMG series features generators based on permanent magnet technology, requiring very little maintenance and offering high reliability. The INDAR PMG series encompasses a wide range of cooling solutions and voltage levels. They can be adapted to direct-drive, medium-speed, and high-speed turbines. On the other hand, the INDAR IG series is designed for wind turbine powertrain configurations, including a 3-stage gearbox coupled to the generator via a flexible, isolated coupling.
