Abstract

The paper introduces the related characteristics of wind turbine generators, Such as the wind turbine generator may cause serious over-voltage problems of electromagnetic compatibility for using converter technique and be struck by lightning easily and also result in high maintenance costs. So we analyze several hotspots of the over-voltage protection of wind turbine generators, such as the standard on the over-voltage protection of wind turbine generators, related products, digestion and absorption of the technology introduced from abroad of wind power over-voltage system, etc; then put forward some suggestions in improving the reliability and security of the over-voltage protection of wind turbine generators.
