Abstract

Wind generators are complex systems based on the latest aerodynamic, mechanical, and electrical designs incorporating coordinated sophisticated control systems. Wind generators have been erected in increasing numbers in the USA, the European Union, China, and other locations, especially smaller islands with no interconnections. European companies and US companies have lead developing technology.
