Abbreviations and Definitions This post summarizes and explains some of the most commonly used abbreviations and definitons from the field of variable frequency drives (VFD), drive systems and associated areas, such as power electronics, harmonics and power quality, monitoring, testing… AFE Active Front End Grid side converter (in drives often Read more…
Power converters for pumped storage hydro power plants A while ago we started a series on hydro power generation. Today we invite you to learn about how power converters for hydro applications make the pumped hydro storage more efficient and more attractive while supporting the stability of the power grid Read more…
Current, voltage and power scaling of VFD Variable frequency drives (VFD) became unthinkable part of industrial motor drives. They cover voltages from some 120 V up to 13.8 kV (special designs go even higher) and power range from fraction of kW until 100 MW and beyond. Enabler of such wide Read more…
