4 FAQs about [Igct energy storage application]
What is IGCT technology?
A wide range of newly introduced IGCT technologies is discussed and recent prototype experimental results as well as novel structures and future trends of the IGCT technology are presented. The IGCT has been established as the device of choice for many high power applications such as medium voltage drives, STATCOMs, and pumped hydro [1, 2].
Is IGCT a good solution for MMC applications?
A comprehensive experimental platform was developed. The detailed experiments, including double -pulse switching, back-to-back power cycling, and MMC operation, verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed solution. The IGCT has potential advantages in terms of efficiency, reliability, and cost for MMC applications.
Why is the IGCT a good choice?
Due to its inherent low conduction loss thyristor properties and the hard switched functionality, the IGCT is predestined for these applications.
Is IGCT better than IGBT?
It can be seen from Figure 2 that the IGCT has clearly a better technology curve (turn-off losses vs. on-state voltage) compared to the IGBT, i.e. for the same turn off losses, the on-state voltage drop is close to half in the IGCT compared to an equivalent IGBT.
