2. Doubly fed electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubly_fed_electric_machine

   As a summary, a doubly fed induction machine is a wound-rotor doubly fed electric machine and has several advantages over a conventional induction machine in wind power applications. First, as the rotor circuit is controlled by a power electronics converter, the induction generator is able to both import and export reactive power.

3. Induction generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

   An induction generator produces electrical power when its rotor is turned faster than the synchronous speed.For a four-pole motor (two pairs of poles on stator) powered by a 60 Hz source, the synchronous speed is 1800 rotations per minute (rpm) and 1500 RPM powered at 50 Hz.

5. Variable speed wind turbine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_speed_wind_turbine

   For variable speed wind turbines, one of two types of generators can be used: a DFIG (doubly fed induction generator) or an FRC (fully rated converter). A DFIG generator draws reactive power from the transmission system; this can increase the vulnerability of a transmission system in the event of a failure.

6. Wound rotor motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wound_rotor_motor

   Wound-rotor motors can be started with low inrush current, by inserting high resistance into the rotor circuit; as the motor accelerates, the resistance can be decreased. [ 1 ] Compared to a squirrel-cage rotor , the rotor of the slip ring motor has more winding turns; the induced voltage is then higher, and the current lower, than for a ...

7. Wind turbine - Wikipedia

   The generator, which is approximately 34% of the wind turbine cost, includes the electrical generator, [64] [65] the control electronics, and most likely a gearbox (e.g., planetary gear box), [66] adjustable-speed drive, or continuously variable transmission [67] component for converting the low-speed incoming rotation to high-speed rotation ...

9. Wind power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power

   Wind power is considered a sustainable, renewable energy source, and has a much smaller impact on the environment compared to burning fossil fuels. Wind power is variable, so it needs energy storage or other dispatchable generation energy sources to attain a reliable supply of electricity. Land-based (onshore) wind farms have a greater visual ...
