Power Electronics Converters and Wind Turbine

  Darshni M.Shukla,  Brijal Panchal

Wind power is one of the most promising renewable energy present decade. There is a widespread use of wind turbines in the distribution networks and more and more wind power stations, acting as power plants, are connected directly to the grid. As the grid penetration and power level of the wind turbines increase more and more, the wind power starts to have significant impacts to the power grid system. Therefore, more advanced generators, power electronic systems, and control solutions have to be introduced to improve the characteristics of the wind power plant and make it more suitable to be integrated into the power grid. Meanwhile, there are also some emerging technology challenges, which need to be further clarified and investigated. This paper gives an overview and discusses some development trends in the technologies used for wind power systems

Keywords- power electronics converters,pulse width modulation ,wind energy conversion, wind farms, wind turbine control. maximum power point tracking
