Abstract:
During the last two decades, the production of wind turbines has grown in size from 20 kW to 2 MW. The electrical part of a wind turbine is becoming more and more important and, it is very important to have this system highly integrated into the overall wind turbine design. Electrical developments include the use of advanced power electronics in the wind generator system design, introducing a new control concept, namely variable speed. Due to the rapid development of power electronics, offering both higher power handling capability and lower price/kW, the application of power electronics in wind turbines will increase further. Another interesting issue is the efforts, which have been put into research and development of new motor/generator concepts for some years.The following presentation will look deeper into old and new concepts of generators and power electronics.
