Abstract
Previous papers have presented proof-of-concept results for using a flux-switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine combined with a parallel connection of converter modules as a drivetrain topology for direct drive wind turbines with high power ratings. This paper presents results of continued investigations, including experiments done on a 3.2 MW rated prototype system. Test results for the prototype demonstrate that this system can easily master low-voltage ride-through events. Further characteristics of the new drivetrain topology are: a strictly modular structure, high efficiency, and high availability due to fault-tolerance, while maintaining low cost.
