  • Abstract
    The goal of this paper is to review generator systems used in wind turbines and to determine suitable generator concepts for future high power wind turbines. An up to date state of the art of wind turbine generators is first presented. It will help, through a critical analysis, to identify limiting constraints to power rating increase of wind turbine generator systems. Finally, some potential solutions are discussed.
