Various wind turbine generator designs, based on classification by machine type and speed control capabilities, are discussed along with their operational characteristics, voltage, reactive power, or power factor control capabilities, voltage ride-through characteristics, behavior during short circuits, and reactive power capabilities.
Based on the installed power, site of turbine, load type, and simplicity of control, the wind generator can be chosen. Squirrel-cage induction or brushless DC (BLDC) generators are usually used for small wind turbines in household applications. Doubly fed induction generators are usually used for megawatt size turbines.
A generator plays a very important role in wind turbine technical solutions. The integration of the generator and power electronics significantly affects the performance of the wind power systems, and affects both the mechanical part as well as the electrical grid. A generator consists of two main components: a stator and a rotor.
Depending on the applications of “wind power generation,” it is categorized into three options: (1) stand-alone mode, (2) backup model-like wind diesel, and (3) grid-connected wind turbine generators.
