ABB wind turbine converter brings medium voltage technology to North American market
Medium voltage (MV) converters offer clear benefits at the higher turbine power levels now demanded for new offshore wind parks. ABB’s PCS6000 MV converter already supports power ratings up to 13 MW. It is the first MV converter to receive UL certification, which means that it can be used in North America.
When a major wind turbine manufacturer placed an order for ABB’s PCS6000 converters for a project in the United States, ABB began the complex process of obtaining UL certification for the product. Certification by UL is mandatory for wind turbine converters delivered to the US market. One factor that complicated the issue was the lack of an applicable UL Standard for MV wind turbine converters.
“This was a first-of-its-kind project and new technology for the market, and there was no applicable UL Standard we could utilize,” says Mirko Bautz, Vice President of Global Accounts at UL. “We started by working with ABB to determine which UL Standard would be most relevant. We decided the best approach would be to apply an existing safety Standard, UL 6141. We worked closely with ABB throughout the certification process and brought it to a successful conclusion.”
Personnel from UL’s offices in Europe and from UL’s headquarters in Northbrook, Illinois, worked with ABB staff from the wind turbine converter engineering unit in Switzerland and the factory in Poland. The process included extensive component and design reviews, as well as type testing.
Low and medium voltage converters for all main markets
“UL certification for the PCS6000 converter, following collaboration to develop the new Standard, is great news for turbine OEMs and operators in North America,” says Chris Poynter, Managing Director of ABB System Drives. “They can take advantage of the simplicity and performance of medium voltage converter technology, and there is now a clear benchmark for safety, performance and grid connectivity for everyone.”
“We are the only manufacturer able to provide both medium and low voltage converters for wind turbines, and UL certification enables us to supply our entire range to customers in all the world’s main markets.”
ABB is the leading supplier of MV converters, and up to now the main focus has been on the European and Chinese markets. With UL certification there is great potential for sales of MV converters in North America.
