The control of variable-speed wind turbine generators

Abstract
The problem of smooth control of electrical power from a large wind turbine generator to an electrical utility system grid is discussed. A control system is proposed which is applicable to either induction or synchronous machines asynchronously coupled to the grid through a controllable DC current link. A power limiting strategy is developed which spills powers at high wind velocities without recourse to blade pitch control mechanisms.
