Abstract

Abstract: In view of the frequent over-temperature faults of ABB wind power converter in the process of using, this paper makes an in-depth study and detailed analysis on the over-temperature faults and solutions and effects of the converter through the analysis of the converter heating principle, technical transformation test, thermal simulation analysis, etc.It is found that there are three main reasons for the converter over-temperature fault which are high operating environment temperature, insufficient ventilation and increased thermal resistance coefficient. The three main causes of the over-temperature fault of the converter are analyzed and the technical modification scheme and operability analysis are put forward. In order to verify the technical modification effect, the operation temperature data of the technical modification unit and adjacent units were collected and compared with FLOTHERM software to simulate the heat change trend of the tower cylinder, and the influence of the scheme on the effect and other parts of the unit was judged. The results showed that the scheme could effectively solve the over-temperature problem of the converter and would not affect the normal operation of the wind turbine.
