Abstract :
This paper presents two power generation systems with a two-phase permanent magnet (PM) synchronous machine associated to a rectifier with small number of controlled switches. The topologies have as main purpose converting wind energy into electrical energy for low power applications, providing a great potential to be used in urban areas. They can be used in applications connected to the grid or in the stand-alone mode or feeding a micro grid. Compared with two three-phase generation systems that use reduced number of controlled switches, the proposed topologies permit obtaining sinusoidal machine currents, with low harmonic distortion, using a smaller number of controlled switches. Simulation and experimental results also are presented.
