Aspects of the present disclosure are generally directed to configurations of power conversion systems for wind turbine generators. For example, certain aspects are directed to a multi-rotor wind turbine. The multi-rotor wind turbine generally includes a plurality of rotors, each coupled to a plurality of electrical generators, one or more machine-side converters, MSCs, coupled to the electrical generators of each of the plurality of rotors and configured to generate at least one direct-current, DC, signal, and one or more line-side converters, LSCs, coupled to the MSCs and configured to generate at least one AC signal based on the at least one DC signal.

A converter for converting AC power from an AC power supply into DC power and outputting the DC power, an inverter for converting the DC power outputted from the converter into AC power of a variable frequency and a variable voltage value, and supplying the AC power to a load, a shunt resistor for detecting an output current of the converter, and a control device for controlling the inverter based on the detected output current are provided. The control device calculates an input current of the converter from the output current detected by the shunt resistor, and, when the calculated input current exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the control device causes the manner of operation of said inverter to be changed so as to reduce the input current of the converter.

A power loss protection integrated circuit includes a VIN terminal, a VOUT terminal, an STR terminal, a switch circuit (eFuse), a control circuit, and a prebiasing circuit. In a normal mode, current flows from a power source, into VIN, through the eFuse, out of VOUT, and to the output node. A switching converter of which the control circuit is a part is disabled. If a switch over condition then occurs, the eFuse is turned off and the switching converter starts operating. The switching converter receives energy from STR and drives the output node. Switch over is facilitated by prebiasing. Prior to switch over, the prebiasing circuit prebiases a control loop node as a function of eFuse current flow prior to switch over. When the switching converter begins operating, the node is already prebiased for the proper amount of current to be supplied by the switching converter onto the output node.

A dynamic stability analysis and control method for a voltage sourced converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) transmission system. The method includes the following steps: unlocking a converter station of the VSC-HVDC transmission system to make the VSC-HVDC transmission system run in a non-island control mode; extracting corresponding parameters of the VSC-HVDC transmission system, wherein the parameters include an effective voltage value U.sub.t0 of an AC system, an outgoing reactive power Q.sub.vsc0 of the VSC-HVDC transmission system, a gain k.sub.p of a phase-locked loop (PLL), and a proportional integral time constant k.sub.i of the PLL; calculating a short-circuit ratio (SCR), an unit value of U.sub.t0 and an unit value of Q.sub.vsc0; calculating a key stable component; checking the sign of the key stable component to determine the stability of the VSC-HVDC transmission system.

A converter, a first switch, a second switch, and an inverter are disposed in that order along a second direction, at a first position in a first direction. A reactor and a capacitor are disposed in that order along the second direction, at a second position in the first direction. Energy is stored in the reactor via the first switch. The capacitor is discharged via the second switch. At least one of a set of the reactor and the converter and a set of the capacitor and the inverter is disposed side by side along the first direction.
