Expanding their partnership, Infineon Technologies and Goldwind Science & Technology make it possible for wind power generation to produce electricity in a stable and reliable manner. Goldwind’s grid-forming GW 155 – 4.5 MW wind turbines will have more energy efficiency thanks to Infineon’s XHP 2 1700 V IGBT5 power modules with.XT technology.
High power density, reliabilithy, and resilience are provided by Infineon’s power modules, guaranteeing wind energy systems a long operational lifespan. They contribute to lower energy expenses and increased wind turbine profitability for Goldwind by enhancing energy efficiency.
Wind turbines that compose the grid stabilize the electrical system. The grid-forming technique enables wind farms to replicate the stabilizing characteristics of conventional rotating generators, in contrast to conventional turbines that passively follow the grid.
Grid-forming wind turbines can sustain grid voltage and produce a steady frequency even when the power grid’s load fluctuates by utilizing power electronics. According to the International Energy Agency, by the end of the decade, renewable energy sources will generate nearly half of the world’s electricity, with solar photovoltaics and wind doubling to 30%.
In order to guarantee a steady and dependable flow of electricity in spite of variations in energy supply, grid-forming capabilities will thus become crucial.
The XHP 2 1700 V IGBT5 power modules from Infineon are connected via the .XT protocol. Compared to conventional joining technique, this approach allows power modules to sustain larger cycling loads at higher temperatures because of its enhanced wire bonding, dependable chip attachment, and high-reliability system-soldering.
The power modules’ low stray inductance and paralleling-friendly design make development easier for customers and allow for more platform upgrade options. Even in difficult operating environments, like wind turbines, they offer remarkable lifespan.
Consequently, they optimize wind energy harvesting and reduce unscheduled downtime. Currently, every second newly built wind turbine in the world uses Infineon products.
Since 2007, Infineon and Goldwind have been working together to develop wind power converters that are more grid-friendly, small, and incredibly dependable. Goldwind has already received its fifth-generation PrimePACK IGBT modules from Infineon.
These innovations have allowed Goldwind’s 6 MW full-power wind turbine models to exceed strict international criteria for safety, energy efficiency, and dependability while lowering operating and maintenance costs because of their high power density and outstanding cycling performance.
