Abstract

Residential generation of electricity from renewable sources has grown substantially owing to active governmental stimulation programs in many countries. Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) are a preferable solution for residential wind turbines (WTs) due to their high efficiency and reliability. In the design of grid integration equipment, PMSG-based WTs need special attention because of their variable-speed-variable-voltage nature. This paper reviews current trends in residential wind energy conversion systems based on the PMSG. Specific focus is on the design standards, PMSG-based WTs technology, typical power electronics building blocks, maximum power point tracking, and control systems for grid integration.
