Abstract
Due to the very fast development of power electronics, offering
both higher capability and lower price/kW the applicability of power
electronics in wind turbines increases rapidly. Moreover, new types of
generators which may change the configuration of direct driven
generators are being developed. This paper summarises the state of art
regarding generator and power electronic concepts for wind turbines. The
state of the art on wind turbine technology is established by a market
oriented approach and the applied topologies are reviewed. Furthermore,
trends for generators and power electronics are reviewed through
technical and economical identifiers in terms of weight and price versus
nominal power. New wind turbine designs are expected in the near future,
exploiting the improved capabilities of generators and power
electronics. Some of these new concepts are further discussed. Wind
turbines are further being planned in big wind farms. These are
subjected to quite high demands concerning power quality,
controllability and safety. The paper also reviews potential
concepts/technologies that can satisfy the defined restrictions
