The analysis of foreign experience in study of wind power generation systems

Abstract

The paper presents a brief analysis of the configuration options for the energy conversion circuits of modern wind power plants. The characteristic types of generator systems for wind turbines are considered and the pros and cons of using various types of electrical machines as generating devices for wind turbines are analyzed. The vector of development of wind turbines is defined in terms of the choice of the type of generator system. The article describes the proposed future generation systems and lists their advantages and disadvantages compared to the currently used generating systems.
