Small-scale wind turbines are particularly advantageous for power generation at a household level [5]. A small-scale wind turbine consists of a generator, a power electronic converter, and a control system.
The main components of a wind turbine system are illustrated in Fig. 1, including a turbine rotor, a gearbox, a generator, a power electronic system, and a transformer for grid connection.
This Review discusses the current capabilities and challenges facing different power electronic technologies in wind generation systems from single turbines to the system level.
Fuji Electric supplies IGBT modules that are suitable for conversion circuits that are required to have a large capacity. A list of IGBT module models ideal for use with wind power generation will be
