Power Converters

The demand for power conversion is ever increasing. Major drivers for this rise in demand include the growth of distributed generation and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, higher system efficiency requirements, and increased demand for higher levels of power quality and power reliability.

AMSC’s cost-effective power converters have customizable configurations that enable end users to rapidly develop power systems that will get their products to market faster and maintain their competitive edge.

PowerModule™ power converters can reduce the cost and cycle time associated with developing a power conversion system. This reduction in time can provide earlier revenue realization, taking on additional projects, or further design refinement. Regarded as a standard, proven building block, PowerModule power converters have been utilized in thousands of wind turbines and grid interconnection solutions supporting gigawatts of renewable power around the world.

PowerModule power converters support a systematic development approach by reducing the amount of unknown variables. They can be quickly configured to meet both your hardware and software needs, making them ideal platforms for evaluating new technologies in power switches, thermal designs and control strategies. As a result, you can focus on key technology unknowns, accelerating the development of electric power systems and offering a cost-effective core component for volume production.

PowerModule PM1000 and PM3000 Series
The AMSC PM1000 and PM3000 power converters are a fully integrated, intelligent and modular systems that significantly reduce development costs and time to market for power systems across a wide spectrum of industries and applications.
PM1000 series -- 150 kW to 500 kW.
PM3000 series -- 500 kW to 1 MW.

PowerModule System Developer Kits
The AMSC PowerModule System Developer Kit (SDK) provides users with the ability to unlock the versatility of our PM1000 and PM3000 power converters and rapidly develop and launch numerous custom power system applications.

Using the PowerVisum™ graphical user interface (GUI), you can quickly configure, monitor, troubleshoot and command individual power processors in one or more PowerModule converters using the standard software application modules for converting AC-DC, DC-DC, DC-AC or AC-AC.

The PowerVisum GUI provides an intuitive interface on your computer for programming, setting up the converter parameters, passing parameters back to the user interface for display or calculations, and controlling the system by the operator. Through the PowerVisum GUI, you can integrate, diagnose and reconfigure a PowerModule power conversion system in real time.
