Objective:
The FASTAP project aims to develop and industrialise a new very fast electronic on-load tap changer transformer technology for wind turbine applications.
Description:
The FASTAP project aims at scaling from TRL6 to TRL8 the wind turbine application of a very fast on-load tap changer transformer technology. This solution uses thyristors especially connected to multi-tap transformer windings to provide On-Load Tap Changer capability to a standard wind turbine (WTG) transformer. This technology allows choosing the optimum voltage at which the WTG operates in, not only in steady-state conditions but also for dynamic and transient events.
