Patent number: 8207623Abstract: A variable speed wind turbine having a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), includes an exciter machine mechanically coupled to the DFIG and a power converter placed between a rotor of the DFIG and the exciter machine. Thus, the power converter is not directly connected to the grid avoiding the introduction of undesired harmonic distortion and achieving a better power quality fed into the utility grid. Moreover, the variable speed wind turbine includes a power control and a pitch regulation.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2007Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Ingeteam Energy, S.A.Inventors: Gregorio Rivas, Iker Garmendia, Josu Elorriaga, Jesus Mayor, Javier Perez Barbachano, David Sole, Jorge Acedo

Publication number: 20100141424Abstract: A theft protection device for photovoltaic solar panels is provided. The device includes of at least one cable which is made to pass through the solar panels. The cable can be fibre optic or electrical, and a light beam or an electrical current, respectively, is made to circulate through the cable. At the ends of the cable, an electrical control circuit is connected, capable of detecting a cut in the cable caused by the interruption of the light beam in the fibre or a voltage drop at the ends of the electrical cable. Cutting of the cable for theft of the solar panels is detected by the control circuit which activates an alarm, acoustic and/or visual, which can belong to the device or be remote.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2006Publication date: June 10, 2010Applicant: INGETEAM ENERGY, S.A.Inventors: Javier Coloma Calahorra, Luis Marroyo Palomo

Publication number: 20090316458Abstract: The invention presents a structure for the conversion of direct current electric power into alternating current electric power, characterised in that it is simple, highly efficient and minimises the problem of electromagnetic compatibility. The circuit includes, in its first preferred embodiment, six switching elements governed by a command unit, four switches forming an H-bridge (T1, T2, T3, T4) and two auxiliary switches (T5D, T6D), and two auxiliary diodes (Daux1 and Daux2). The elements of the H-bridge switch at grid frequency, whereas T5D and T6D switch at high frequency by means of pulse width modulation (PWM), or other appropriate modulation techniques. The voltage of these auxiliary switching elements (T5D, T6D) is limited topologically to half the direct current input voltage (Vin), thereby reducing switching losses and resulting in a high performance converter.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2006Publication date: December 24, 2009Applicant: INGETEAM ENERGY, S.A.Inventors: Roberto Gonzalez Senosiain, Javier Coloma Calahorra, Luis Marroyo Palomo, Jesus Lopez Taberna, Pablo Sanchis Gurpide
