ABB full-power converter GBU72 is a high-performance power electronic device designed by ABB for renewable energy (such as wind power, photovoltaic) and industrial applications. It is mainly used to convert direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) or realize bidirectional power flow (such as energy storage system).
Core functions and technical features
Power conversion capability
Bidirectional conversion: supports DC/AC (rectification + inverter) bidirectional power flow, suitable for energy storage system charging and discharging, wind power grid connection and other scenarios.
Wide voltage range: The input DC voltage range covers 400V-1500V (photovoltaic) or 690V-1140V (wind power), and the output AC voltage is adapted to 10kV/35kV medium voltage power grid or 400V low voltage distribution system.
Efficient topology: Adopt three-level NPC (neutral point clamping) or H-bridge topology to reduce switching loss and improve efficiency (typical efficiency ≥98.5%).
Control and protection functions
Advanced control algorithms:
Wind power converter: supports maximum power point tracking (MPPT), low voltage ride-through (LVRT), high voltage ride-through (HVRT) and grid synchronization control.
PV inverter: supports dynamic reactive power compensation (Q/V control), anti-islanding protection and harmonic suppression.
Multiple protection mechanisms:
DC side: overvoltage/undervoltage protection, reverse connection protection, insulation monitoring.
AC side: overcurrent/short circuit protection, frequency offset protection, differential protection (medium voltage application).
Temperature protection: temperature monitoring and derating of key components such as IGBT modules and inductors.
Communication and monitoring functions
Standard protocol support: IEC 61850 (smart substation), Modbus TCP/RTU, Profibus-DP, CANopen, etc., adapted to different monitoring systems.
Time synchronization: supports IRIG-B, PTP (IEEE 1588) time synchronization to ensure the time accuracy of event recording (≤1μs).
Remote diagnosis: Remote parameter configuration, fault recording analysis and firmware upgrade are realized through the ABB Ability™ platform.
Environmental adaptability
Protection level: IP54 (indoor) or IP65 (outdoor), suitable for harsh environments such as sand, dust, salt spray, etc.
Working temperature: -25℃~+55℃ (extended range requires special design), meeting the application of high altitude (such as above 4000m) or extremely cold areas.
Seismic design: Comply with IEC 60068-2-6 standard, adapt to vibration scenarios such as wind farms and offshore platforms.
Typical application scenarios
Wind power generation system
As the core of the double-fed/full-power wind power converter, it realizes the flexible connection between the generator output power and the power grid.
Supports variable pitch control, yaw system power supply and cabin auxiliary equipment (such as heaters, cooling pumps) drive.
Photovoltaic energy storage system
Photovoltaic inverter: Convert DC power into AC power for grid connection, and support energy storage battery charging and discharging management.
Energy storage converter (PCS): realize peak-valley arbitrage, demand response and microgrid energy dispatch.
Industrial motor drive
Replace traditional inverters, drive high-voltage motors (such as compressors, pumps), and support four-quadrant operation (brake energy feedback).
Microgrid and island power supply
As the core control unit of distributed energy (photovoltaic + energy storage), it realizes seamless switching between island/grid-connected mode.
Maintenance and troubleshooting
Daily inspection
Confirm that the operation indicator and fault indicator are in normal state.
Check the operation of the cooling fan and whether the air inlet and outlet are blocked.
Regular maintenance
Every 6 months: clean the converter housing and heat sink, and check the tightness of the terminal block.
Every year: perform insulation resistance test (DC500V megohmmeter, insulation resistance ≥1MΩ), DC side capacitance test (capacity attenuation ≤20%).
Common fault handling
Unable to start: Check whether the DC side voltage is normal, whether the control power is connected, and whether the emergency stop button is reset.
Overcurrent alarm: Analyze load characteristics, adjust protection settings or check short circuit points (such as motor insulation damage).
Communication interruption: Check IP address configuration, switch port status or fiber attenuation (multimode fiber ≤3dB/km).
