Abstract: The conversion of wind energy into electrical energy for feeding into the supply grid is studied, by using an induction generator with wound rotor and electronic rotor cascae with supply commutated inverter. An extensive experiment, including a laboratory system with converter controlled dc machine as simulated wind turbine, a practical wind tower system with data capture facilities and a maximal, self-adaptive power controller, is discussed. Some detailed results are presented, the feasibility of the system is established experimentally and problem areas are pointed out.
