Abstract

Extracting as much as wind energy as possible and feeding the grid with high quality power are the two main targets for the grid connected wind turbine system. This paper proposes the design of an efficient controller for the 3.2KW wind turbine which grabs the maximum power from the available wind. The 3.2 KW wind turbine system provides a variable frequency AC voltage and this variable frequency AC voltage is then converted to constant three phase 230V 50 Hz AC by using the converter and inverter systems.
