Abstract :
One of the main points in the design of a Multi-MW-class turbine is the size and weight of the total turbine. Gamesa has developed a converter system with a very high power density and low weight. The system is designed and tested to withstand very high short circuit currents, high vibrations and other wind turbine typical environmental aspects.
