Gamesa
Electric’s
power
electronics portfolio includes a
track record of successful projects
for customers who are amongst
the leading utility providers and
industries in the most demanding
sectors, such as:
- Power converters and control
cabinets for renewable energy
power plants (wind and solar PV,
more than 10.000 MW delivered).
- UPS for nuclear power plants and
industrial applications.
- Power converters for marine
propulsion systems.
- Power quality solutions for both
utility providers and industrial
applications (Statcom for dynamic
reactive
power
compensation;
Active Filter for fast dynamic
harmonics cancellation; Windfact®
for withstanding voltage dips on
windfarms).
Our
products
have
been
recognized worldwide for their
proven reliability in the most
demanding of conditions.

GAMESA ELECTRIC supports its
customers through each phase of
their project’s value-chain: design,
construction, commissioning, startup and operation of their power
plants or industrial applications.

A - Power Converters
Gamesa Electric power converters
are stateoftheart two-level and
multilevel converters. The main
benefits of using a multilevel
converter are:
• Compact
design:
Higher
voltage output with the same
DC voltage input, hence less
current for the same power.
• Higher machine reliability:
Lower voltage steps means
less current harmonics, so less
motor stress in the insulation.
• Higher efficiency by means of
the
lower
semiconductor
switching frequency.

Example of PV 630kW PV Inverter

Gamesa Electric power converters
can be unidirectional (grid to load
or generator to grid) or bidirectional active front end
(AFE) converters, which isolate
the mechanical parts of the load
from the grid disturbances. This
grants
full
control
of
the
motor/generator, complying with
all of the grid-code requirements.
