The operation of small-scale wind turbines in high-speed wind conditions continues to pose
a number of problems to this industry, turbine owners, and communities, over which this …

This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet
synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong …

The design process for small wind turbines is usually based on standard methods and tools
used for higher-scale turbines. However, small wind turbines have peculiar features due to …

This paper proposes a new variable structure control scheme for a variable-speed, fixed-
pitch ducted wind turbine, equipped with an annular, brushless permanent-magnet …

Small wind turbines (SWTs) have been a common option for rural electrification during
recent decades. Recently, an application for connecting these devices to the grid was …

In this paper a new variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-
based stand-alone wind energy conversion system (SWECS) is proposed. The interface …

In this paper, an overall power control strategy is proposed for control of a fixed-pitch small-
scale wind energy conversion system operating at both underrated and overrated wind …

Due to the ever growing global energy demand and pollution levels, clean and renewable
alternative energy resources, such as wind, have become indispensable for preserving the …

This paper presents a novel power conditioning unit (PCU) for variable-speed micro wind
turbine applications. It contains a simple generator-side rectifier, galvanic isolation with a …

The growth of using wind energy on a large scale increases the demand for wind energy
conversion machines (WECMs), among these converters, the doubly-fed induction …
