Feasibility of a Simple Small Wind Turbine with Variable-Speed Regulation Made of Commercial Components
The aim of this study was to propose and evaluate a very small wind turbine (VSWT) that competes with commercial grid-connected VSWTs in terms of simplicity, robustness and price.Its main components are a squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG) driven by a frequency converter.The system has a direct-drive shaft, and may be constructed with commerc
