Modeling and simulation of wind energy chain conversion

Alongside the substantial market for wind generation of high power systems grows smaller power (about 100W to several kW) which is especially dedicated to remote sites. The chain of energy conversion is very different from those of great power, they are often based on the use of a three-phase alternator with permanent magnets debiting directly through a rectifier diodes in a generally electrochemical battery low voltage (12-48 V). In this article, we propose a model of the conversion chain, few conventional, for the estimation of energy production.
