Utilization of small-scale wind energy conversion systems (WECS) has been grown in recent years. Permanent magnet synchronous generator due to lack of slip rings is a suitable alternative for induction generators to be used in these systems. However, these generators use full power converters which means higher power losses. In this paper, an ultra-efficient three-level converter, called T-type converter, is used in a back-to-back configuration as power electronic interface for PMSG-based small-scale WECS. Then, simulations are carried out to evaluate the efficiency of the system and compare it to conventional two- and three-level back-to-back configurations. Meanwhile, thermal analysis is carried out to investigate the thermal loading of different switching components of the converter. Data given by this analysis can be further used to evaluate system reliability. Therefore, system reliability is calculated and compared to conventional two- and three-level converter systems.
