Abstract

This paper presents a review of wind energy conversion topologies applicable to permanent magnetic synchronous generator. The use of wind energy as a promissing renewable energy in actual world conjuncture and its use on distributed generation is summarized; a comparison between the main generators used in wind energy production related to the advantages of each one is shown. The paper mainly discusses converter topologies in use with permanent magnetic synchronous generator, focusing on the advantages and control techniques applied.
