Power Converters

POWER CONVERTERS

Drawing on its extensive experience accumulated in other sectors over the years, in 1995 Ingeteam developed its family of power converters for the wind sector, under the name of Ingecon Wind.

From then onwards, Ingeteams continuous innovation and commitment to in-house technology have led to the constant evolution of this equipment, which complies with the ever more demanding

grid connection requirements, optimising the quality of the energy generated. As a result, today more than 12,000 wind turbines are equipped with Ingecon Wind converters.
