Contents of this chapter
This chapter deals with the internal cooling circuit.
Hardware description
General
￭
The internal cooling circuit covers the heat-generating electrical components and transfers
the heat to the external cooling circuit that is usually part of a larger external cooling system.
Diagram of the internal cooling and heating circuit
￭
The following diagram shows how coolant circulates in the grid-side converter, LCL filter,
main breaker and generator-side converter cubicles of the wind turbine converter.
The converter cabinet is combined-cooled: main components (such as IGBTs, module du/dt
filter (choke, resistors), and chokes of the LCL filter) are liquid-cooled. Control electronics,
capacitors of the LCL filter, and main circuit breaker are air-cooled. There are air inlets on
the cabinet doors, and air outlets on the cabinet roof and doors.
