SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COOLING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF A POWER CONVERTER

摘要

Systems and methods for cooling one or more electrical components of a current conversion device of a renewable energy power system (e.g. a wind turbine or a solar power system) are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system includes an immersion tank comprising a cooling medium, a heat exchanger, and a pumping device. One or more of the electrical components are at least partially submerged within the cooling medium, which has a predetermined dielectric constant. The heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the cooling medium of the immersion tank. Thus, the pumping device is configured to circulate the cooling medium between the immersion tank and the heat exchanger to remove heat from the one or more electrical components.
