A novel converter for VSCF wind turbines

Renewable Energy, 1996, vol. 9, issue 1, 853-857

Abstract: Positive advantages result from the variable speed operation of wind turbines connected to a power utility. Conventionaly thyristor based power interfaces have been used to achieve this and more recently IGBT based converters have shown advantages of improved power quality to the network. This paper describes a novel IGBT converter designed built and tested through collaborative research on the European Commission JOULE programme on Renewable Energy.
