Abstract

Because of the increasing concerns on the energy utilization and the environmental protection, the wind power has gained lots of attentions recently. The wind power harvesting applications generally can be classified as two big families, namely the constant-speed constant-frequency (CSCF) wind power generation and the variable-speed constant-frequency (VSCF) wind power generation. Without installation of power converters, the CSCF type takes the absolute merit of compact system architecture as well as simplicity. Yet, its operating speed has to be maintained in a limited range so that there is no correlation with the wind speed. Therefore, it suffers from the problems of lower efficiency and higher mechanical losses.
