converters for improved utilization of wind power, and generators. Modular multi-level AC-AC converters
Trends: Wind Power Technology3. Control Systems can reduce the cost of wind energy by using advanced turbine controllers. Research falls into two categories: a. individual turbine control; b. coordinatedwind farm control Individual turbine control can increasewind farm control. Individual turbine control can increase energy capture and/or reduce turbine loads. Coordinated wind farm control may also achieve both objectives.
