Part 2: The mechanic-electric conversion

Operational characteristics associated with mech. – elec. conversion: 

i)“Fixed” versus variable rotational speed; ii) Syncronous or asyncronous generator; iii) Direct vs controlled grid connection.

The role of the electromotive characteristic of an electric generator in its fitting to the wind rotor characteristics. 

Variants of electric conversion and power control in wind turbines.
