technical field
[0001] The subject matter described herein relates to providing a source of reactive power for an electric machine generator. More specifically, the subject matter described herein relates to systems and methods for augmenting diode rectifiers with active compensators. Background technique
[0002] Currently, 100% kilovolt-ampere (kVA) rated power converter wind energy solutions are more prevalent despite the fact that the market is dominated by doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) utilizing 40% kVA rated (approximate) power converters . In particular, wind power system solutions based on 100% kVA rated power converters can offer attractive features such as improved low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability, better generator utilization, and wider speed range. However, a 100% kVA rated power converter wind energy solution is more expensive, heavier and larger than a 40% kVA rated power converter. To overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, a diode bri...
