Methods and apparatus for pitch control power conversion

A method for powering a pitch motor drive system (400) for at least one DC pitch motor (410) of a wind turbine (100) includes rectifying a voltage using a bridge circuit (402) to thereby supply a DC link voltage to a bridge (404) comprising active switching devices (406), and utilizing at least one...

Zusammenfassung:	A method for powering a pitch motor drive system (400) for at least one DC pitch motor (410) of a wind turbine (100) includes rectifying a voltage using a bridge circuit (402) to thereby supply a DC link voltage to a bridge (404) comprising active switching devices (406), and utilizing at least one link capacitor (408) to smooth the DC link voltage and act as an energy sink and source for the DC pitch motor or motors (410).
