Project description
Fast on-load tap changer technology for wind turbines
The cost of electricity generated from wind continues to decrease. At the same time, grid conditions are becoming harsher. As such, innovative solutions that will help the sector to comply with worldwide environmental policies are urgently needed. The EU-funded FASTAP project will develop a wind turbine application that enhances standard wind turbine generator (WTG) transformers with very fast on-load tap changer capabilities. This solution uses thyristors specifically connected to multi-tap transformer windings. The technology will increase WTG electric capabilities in weak grid conditions and increase their low and high voltage ride-through potential.
