Power Electronics Interface Topologies The incorporation of solid-state power converters in wind energy conversion systems has increased over the past decade in order to improve control of the wind turbine and to improve its interconnection issues with the grid ....
Wind Turbine Topologies The variable speed wind turbines are commonly categorized into Indirect Drive Wind Turbines (IDWTs) and DDWTs. In IDWTs, the low-speed shaft is connected to the high-speed shaft through a gearbox, whereas DDWTs have a low-speed shaft that is...
Direct-Drive Wind Turbines The continuous growth in the energy demand around the globe, and the limited availability of fossil fuels along with the increased awareness in the society about the impact of these fossil fuels on the environment has resulted in exploring...
