  • Page 27: Operation Principle And Hardware Description

    This chapter describes the operation principle and the construction of the wind turbine converter. Operation principle The ACS880-87CC is a four-quadrant, cabinet-mounted combined-cooled converter intended for full power conversion turbines with an induction generator or a permanent magnet generator. The converter is connected between the generator stator and the grid. The converter can be installed up in the nacelle or down on the ground level.
  • Page 28: Generator Control

    28 Operation principle and hardware description Generator control The generator power flows through the generator-side converter to the converter intermediate DC circuit. The generator control is based on the Direct torque control (DTC) method. Two phase currents and intermediate DC circuit voltage are measured and used for the control. The third phase current is measured for ground fault protection.

  • Page 54: Checking The Compatibility Of The Generator And The Converter

    ABB power modules are equipped with internal du/dt filters which reduce the bearing currents and stress on the generator insulations. In addition, a common mode filter can be used to reduce such stresses on the generator-side.
  • Page 55: Selecting The Power Cables

    Planning the electrical installation 55 • du/dt filter protects generator insulation system and reduces bearing currents • common mode filter mainly reduces bearing currents (option). To avoid damage to generator bearings, the cables must be selected and installed according to the instructions given in this manual.

    The most practical location for the valve is usually near or at the cooling unit. Bleeding and draining valves are not included in the standard delivery of the ABB converter.
  • Page 128: Draining The Internal Cooling Circuit

    128 Cooling and heating Draining the internal cooling circuit You can drain the internal cooling circuit through the cooling unit as follows: Note: Draining coolant into the sewer system is not allowed. WARNING! High-pressure hot coolant may be present in the internal cooling circuit. No work on the cooling circuit is allowed until the pressure is lowered down by stopping the pumps and draining coolant.

    ). If coolant inlet temperature cannot be higher, the temperature values in the table below are absolute minimums. To avoid all kind of condensation inside the converter: ABB highly recommends to maintain / heat up the cooling liquid +10 °C (+50 °F) above the ambient temperature (ie, air temperature outside the converter), within the limits that the cooling liquid minimum temperature is +5 °C (41 °F) and maximum temperature is +50 °C (122 °F).
  • Page 130: Pressure Limits

    Maximum design pressure: 500 kPa Recommended design maximum pressure: 380 kPa. Note: Contact ABB if you need to rise the pressure over this limit. The pressure difference must be within given limits to avoid malfunction due to excessive coolant flow.
  • Page 131: Coolant Concentration

    Cooling and heating 131 Coolant concentration ABB recommends diluting coolant 50:50 with water. Note that the concentration of coolant should not be less than 33% and not more than 60%. Following table shows how the diluting portion effects to frost protection.
