A configuration for stabilizing an AC voltage grid has a rotating phase-shifter that is configured to exchange reactive power with the AC voltage grid. The configuration is distinguished by a converter which has a grid side for connection to the AC voltage grid and a machine side for connection to the phase-shifter. A method is furthermore taught for stabilizing the AC voltage grid by way of the configuration.

Method for stabilizing an AC voltage grid

An arrangement has a converter with an electrical series circuit of modules each having four electronic switching elements and an electrical energy storage device. The arrangement also has a cooling device for cooling the electronic switching elements by way of a liquid coolant and a heat exchanger and a control unit for controlling the electronic switching elements. The control unit controls the electronic switching elements in such a manner that at least one current harmonic is generated in the series circuit if the temperature of the liquid coolant or the temperature of a medium, which is intended to absorb the heat at the heat exchanger, falls below a predetermined limit temperature.
