2. Induction generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_generator

   Induction generators are often used in wind turbines and some micro hydro installations due to their ability to produce useful power at varying rotor speeds. Induction generators are mechanically and electrically simpler than other generator types. They are also more rugged, requiring no brushes or commutators.

3. 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.

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. Wind-turbine aerodynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind-turbine_aerodynamics

   Wind-turbine blades in laydown yard awaiting installation. The primary application of wind turbines is to generate energy using the wind. Hence, the aerodynamics is a very important aspect of wind turbines. Like most machines, wind turbines come in many different types, all of them based on different energy extraction concepts.

7. Capability curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_curve

   Capability curves for generators with full converters: D-shape (red), rectangular (green), triangular (blue) The inverter-based resources (like solar photovoltaic (PV) generators, doubly-fed induction generators and full-converter wind generators, also known as "Type 3" and "Type 4" turbines [5]) need to have reactive capabilities in order to contribute to the grid stability, yet their ...
