Abstract: A device includes a controller configured to regulate one or more voltages applied to a gate of an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). The controller is configured to receive one or more voltage values associated with the IGBT, and generate a gating signal and transmit the gating signal to the IGBT. The gating signal is configured to activate or deactivate the IGBT. The controller is configured to generate a voltage clamping signal and transmit the voltage clamping signal to activate or deactivate an active switching device. The active switching device is configured to periodically limit the one or more voltage values associated with the IGBT based at least in part on one or more characteristics of the voltage clamping signal.

Abstract: Methods for operating a wind turbine system are provided. In one embodiment, a method includes adjusting a threshold direct current (DC) bus voltage for a dynamic brake in a wind turbine power converter above a reference DC bus voltage based on at least one system condition. The method further includes gating the dynamic brake on when an experienced DC bus voltage is equal to or greater than the threshold DC bus voltage, and inputting a dynamic brake condition into a controller when the dynamic brake is gated on. The method further includes determining if a grid fault has occurred, reducing power generation of the wind turbine if no grid fault has occurred, and blocking the power converter if a grid fault has occurred. The method further includes gating the dynamic brake off when the experienced DC bus voltage is less than the threshold DC bus voltage.

Abstract: Systems and methods of the invention relate to circuitry that isolates low power circuitry of a battery management system. One or more circuits can be utilized with a battery management system to provide isolation of low power circuitry from at least one of a high voltage, noise interference from a battery, noise interference from a high voltage, sensor signals, control signals, among others.
