Abstract
Increasing in the power demand for day to day life, apart from fossil fuels wind energy conversion system (WECS) contributes largely, small wind turbines (SWT) and off shore installations become popular and with the continual research newly designed efficient generators and power converter design new wind turbine models are expected to launch in the recent years. At present WECS operates at fixed speed and variable speed drives using induction generator principle, such that Squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG) and Doubly fed induction generators have a geared operation, Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) goes gearless. In elaborate the comparisons, advantages and drawbacks of various WECS is discussed in this work.
