  Conducted an investigation each summer into an aspect of the power converter installed in large wind turbines. Documented a detailed report at the end of each placement to allow the project to be continued. Conducted a stress test at 1KV on a power converter. Evaluated test topologies, devised test method and produced test procedure, risk assessment and method statement. Built test setup and performed test. Analysed and presented results. Investigated the feasibility of using a new control algorithm in the power converter. Produced a Simulink (a graphical modelling language) model of a power converter exporting power to grid. Modelled each algorithm collated performance data. Made recommendations for next steps in investigation. Investigated aging of the power converter. Dismantled and visually assessed condition of units removed from service. Prepared samples preserving components in as-received condition. Performed laboratory tests to quantify change in performance due to ageing. Show less
