Electrical conversion specialists Ingeteam has received DNV GL certification for its new IngeconWind convertor.
The DNV GL Component Certificate confirms that Ingeteam’s 2MW DFIG stator-equipped converter is designed, documented and manufactured in accordance to global design assumptions, specific standards and technical requirements.
It will also enhance the process of new turbine development, speeding up the integration of components to wind turbine platforms, the companies said.
R&D quality team leader of Ingeteam Wind Energy Etxarri Sanguesa said: “To this day, DFIG converters remain the most proven, efficient and cost competitive drive train topology.
“Our DFIG converter series offer cost-optimized products for each market and application.
“Those converters present a very grid-friendly behaviour, including FRT, SCR and SSR, which explains why they are used all over the world, and, in particular, why they do very well in emerging markets such as India or Brazil.
“Our 2MW DFIG converters can be modulated to bring customised solutions that will effectively minimize wind turbine LCoE.”
