Wind power generation scheme design

What is wind power generation?

Wind power generation is power generation that converts wind energy into electric energy. The wind generating set absorbs wind energy with a specially designed blade and converts wind energy to mechanical energy, which further drives the generator rotating and realizes conversion of wind energy to electric energy.

What are the components of wind power generation system?

In terms of configuration, wind power generation system normally consists of wind turbine, generator, and grid interface converters where the generator is one of the core components. There are the following wind power generation technologies such as synchronous generator, induction generator, and doubly fed induction generator.

Which electric generation schemes are suitable for interconnection with a power grid?

Abstract: This paper reviews various electric generation schemes for wind energy conversion suitable for interconnection with a power grid. The schemes can be generally classified as constant speed constant frequency (CSCF) and variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) systems.

How to improve wind turbine design at component level?

Furthermore, various methods of design engineering have been implemented to enhance WECS technologies. Accordingly, increasing the radius of the swept area of wind turbine blades for extracting energy from a larger volume of air was one of the methods revealed to enhance WECSs design at component level .

Can multiphase generators meet emerging requirements of wind power generation?

The multiphase generators could meet emerging requirements of the modern wind power generation. Different types of the multiphase converter topologies in wind power conversion are presented. Various kinds of modeling and control methods of the multiphase wind power generation are reviewed.

What are the different types of wind generator technologies?

Based on this classification criterion, various types and topologies of wind generator technologies have been introduced for generating electricity from wind resources. The constant-speed-based SCIG; and variable-speed-based generator technologies such as DFIG, PMSG, and EES are among the most prominent in the modern wind farm industry.
