Conceptual Survey of Generators and Power Electronics for Wind Turbines
Abstract
This report presents a survey on generator concepts and power electronic concepts
for wind turbines. The report is aimed as a tool for decision-makers and
development people with respect to wind turbine manufactures, utilities, and independent
system operators as well as manufactures of generators and power
electronics.
The survey is focused on the electric development of wind turbines and it yields
an overview on:
• State of the art on generators and power electronics.
• Future concepts and technologies within generators and power electronics.
• Market needs in the shape of requirements to the grid connection.
This survey on generator and power electronic concepts was carried out in cooperation
between Aalborg University and Risø National Laboratory, in the
scope of the joint research programme Electric Design and Control.
