Choice and benefits of AFE:
The main advantages of the transformerless AFE Topology, together with the ones related to DFE:
- Size-Weight optimization. Transformerless configuration, cabling simplicity.
- Supply Quality. THD improvement.
- Stability. Higher compensation capability under load transients.
- Energy saved from the stopping of the propeller.
- DC Bus Regulation. Better performance under grid voltage transients.
- Unitary Power Factor. Reduction of DE generator size.
- Less cabling.
- Layout flexibility.
- Saving in hull space.
