Abstract :
The paper presents simulated and experimental results concerning some rectifying solutions used as AC/DC stage in grid connected Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECSs), employing direct drive, axial flux, modular Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs). The solutions are based on three-phase diode bridge rectifiers, configured to give 6-pulse and 12-pulse rectifiers.
