Humidity in Power Converters of Wind Turbines— Field Conditions and Their Relation with Failures

Power converters in wind turbines exhibit frequent failures, the causes of which have remained unexplained for years. Field-experience based research has revealed that power- and thermal-cycling induced fatigue effects in power electronics do not contribute significantly to the field failures observ...
