Abstract:
The wind power converter alternative evaluation is a key aspect in decision making process in wind energy conversion system (WECS) planning and design. This work developed the life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) model for wind power converter with a case study on a 2 MW system considering two semiconductor device alternatives: silicon (Si) devices and silicon carbide (SiC) devices. The developed LCCA model are applicable for decision making and cost-effectiveness evaluation of wind power converters as well as converter design optimization on components selection.
