What are wind turbine technologies & power electronics converters?Wind turbine technologies and power electronics converters provide wind power developers and operators with the options necessary to achieve wind power transmission targets. In this chapter, major configurations and features of both AC and DC wind generators are illustrated.
What is a series connected DC wind turbine?Series-connected DC wind turbines. The main benefit of this topology is that an expensive offshore platform with transformer, AC/DC, or DC/DC converter could be eliminated with the higher DC voltage. However, if there is any fault in the circuit or in a DCG, the whole link has to be disconnected, which results in a larger power loss.
How does a variable speed wind turbine work?Variable-speed wind turbine using FCG FCG, as shown in Figure 13.3, uses a back-to-back converter between the AC network and the wind generator that can be an induction generator or PMSG. Therefore, the AC network and the generator are fully decoupled.
What are the different types of wind generators?The AC generators include the fixed-speed induction generator (FSIG), doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) and full-power converters for induction generators and permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG). The DC wind generators cover DC power output obtained through AC–DC rectifiers and directly through DC generators.
What is a DC wind generator?DC generators can be used in wind power generation to overcome the difficulties of AC wind generators connecting to the variable-speed, variable-torque wind power and the need for reactive power. With the development of DC collection and transmission technology, there DC wind generators DCGs require fewer conversion stages and incur lower costs.
How a wind turbine is regulated?The power generated using the wind turbine is regulated using voltage-controlled converter and the boost converter. The voltage-controlled converter regulates the voltage level and the frequency match in the load side is done with the use of phase locked lo
