Abstract :
This paper presents a brief review of the power electronics techniques used in wind energy conversion systems. Utilization of power electronics converters enables conversion of the generated power from any form to another and thus control the operation quality and obtain capture optimization. Attention is paid to power converters selection and design to satisfy good matching between generator type and size, output form and purpose of control
