Replacing the Grid Interface Transformer in Wind Energy Conversion System With Solid- State Transformer Abstract: In wind energy conversion systems, the fundamental frequency step-up transformer acts as a key interface between the wind turbine and the grid. Recently, there have been efforts to replace this transformer by an advanced power-electronics-based solid-state transformer (SST). This paper […]

Posted in: IEEE 2017, Power System
Novel Isolated Power Conditioning Unit for Micro Wind Turbine Applications Abstract: This paper presents a novel power conditioning unit (PCU) for variable-speed micro wind turbine applications. It contains a simple generator-side rectifier, galvanic isolation with a simple dc-dc converter, and a single-phase full-bridge inverter at the grid side. Variable-speed micro wind turbines based on a […]
