Abstract

The wide application and increasing capacity of both onshore and offshore wind power generation put forward new requirements for the key equipment in wind power turbines. The main issues are the power capacity and reliability of the generators and converters. To meet these demands, many researchers have devoted to the emerging technologies of electric machines and drives in wind power generation. This paper presents an overview of these emerging electric machines and drives in direct-drive wind power generation, aiming to summarize and compare their features and merits, and give the potential application scenarios. Moreover, the future trends and summary of electric machines and drives in wind power generation are also presented. © 1965-2012 IEEE.
