Abstract :
This paper investigates the feasibility of using a topology with a squirrel-cage induction machine and a Vienna rectifier for a wind energy conversion system. Simulation results reveal that this configuration is advantageous with respect to energy efficiency and reliability compared to a traditional six-switch two-level inverter.
