Description

Application Scenarios
A 200MW wind farm faced critical challenges with its inverter system,which relied on conventional thyristor modules.The old components had high switching losses(15%of total energy)and required frequent replacement(every 18 months)under fluctuating wind loads,leading to 8–10 unplanned downtime events annually—each costing$40,000 in lost energy revenue.
After upgrading to the ABB 3BHB013085R0001/5SHY3545L0009,the farm achieved transformative results.The module’s low dynamic losses reduced energy waste by 12%,while its 10-year design lifespan eliminated replacement cycles.Over 12 months,unplanned downtime dropped to zero,and the farm added$480,000 in incremental revenue from improved availability.The site engineer noted,“This IGCT module didn’t just cut losses—it turned our inverters into a reliable backbone for maximizing wind energy capture.”This scenario highlights its ability to solve core pain points of high energy waste and poor durability in renewable energy systems.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values
Innovation 1:Hybrid Power Semiconductor Technology.The module combines thyristor and transistor characteristics,achieving a 30%lower on-state voltage drop than conventional IGBTs and 50%faster switching than standard thyristors.In a 5MVA converter test,this reduced dynamic losses by 40%,cutting annual energy costs by$28,000 for a chemical plant.Its low trigger power(≤5W)also simplifies integration with control circuits,reducing system complexity.
Innovation 2:Scalable Power Capacity.Unlike competing modules requiring series/parallel connections for high power,it supports direct use in 300kVA–10MVA converters and scales to 100MVA with minimal modifications.A steel mill upgrading from 2MVA to 5MVA arc furnace drives avoided$120,000 in system reengineering costs by using the same module model.
Innovation 3:Harsh-Environment Durability.With a镀镍锡母线,anti-corrosion conformal coating,and-40°C to+85°C operating range,it withstands humidity(up to 95%non-condensing)and dust in mining and petrochemical sites.In a desert solar farm(45°C average temperature),it maintained stable performance for 24 months,while a competitor’s module failed after 8 months due to thermal degradation.
Application Cases and Industry Value
Case 1:Metallurgical Arc Furnace Control
A large steel mill integrated the ABB 3BHB013085R0001/5SHY3545L0009 into its 8MVA electric arc furnace converter system.The previous SCR-based module had slow response times,leading to 5%energy waste and 3 monthly electrode damage incidents(each costing$15,000).
The IGCT module’s fast switching(1μs turn-off time)stabilized arc current,reducing energy consumption by 6%and eliminating electrode damage.Over 12 months,the mill saved
360,000inenergycostsand
540,000 in electrode replacements.The production manager commented,“This module redefined our furnace efficiency—we now melt 10%more steel per kWh while cutting maintenance costs.”
Case 2:HVDC Submarine Transmission
A utility company used the module in a 500kV HVDC submarine transmission system connecting offshore wind farms to the grid.The system required components with high blocking voltage and corrosion resistance to withstand seawater proximity.
The module’s 45kV rated voltage and anti-corrosion coating ensured reliable operation,with zero failures over 18 months.Its low loss design reduced transmission energy waste by 3%,translating to$1.2 million in annual savings for the utility.The grid engineer added,“This IGCT module is critical for our offshore grid—its durability and efficiency make it the only viable choice for harsh marine environments.”
