Abstract: A power conversion system is provided, which system includes a first power converter including power electronic switches of a first type that are switchable to provide electric power conversion; and a second power converter connected in parallel to the first power converter. The second power converter includes power electronic switches of a second type that are switchable to provide electric power conversion. The second type is different from the first type. The second type of power electronic switches includes wide bandgap semiconductor switches. The system further includes a controller configured to operate the power conversion system in a first operating mode in which the second power converter is operated at a first switching frequency, and in a second operating mode in which the second power converter is operated at a second switching frequency of the power electronic switches and the first power converter is operated to provide power conversion.

Abstract: A control method of a hybrid power switch having at least a first switching device connected in parallel with a second switching device is provided. A first gate signal is provided to the first switching device for turning on and turning off the first switching device. A second gate signal is provided to the second switching device for turning on and turning off the second switching device. A first delay time is stablished between the turning on of the first switching device and the turning on of the second switching device, and a second delay time is established between the turning off of the first switching device and the turning off of the second switching device. The temperature of the first switching device is determined, and at least one of the first and second delay times is modified depending on such temperature.

Abstract: A method for controlling the reactive power exchange of a DFIG wind facility with the grid is provided. The method includes determining a grid side converter reactive power thermal limit value and determining the value of the required DFIG magnetizing reactive power to be consumed by the stator. Then setting dynamically the sharing of the reactive power between the stator and the GSC such that the GSC reactive power value is the difference between the reactive power demand of the DFIG wind facility and the magnetizing reactive power consumed by the stator. Afterwards operating the DFIG wind turbine facility such that the absolute value of GSC reactive power is adjusted to be below the grid side converter reactive power thermal limit value value. An arrangement and a wind turbine are also provided.
