All equipment of wind power generation system

What is wind power generation?

Wind power generation is power generation that converts wind energy into electric energy. The wind generating set absorbs wind energy with a specially designed blade and converts wind energy to mechanical energy, which further drives the generator rotating and realizes conversion of wind energy to electric energy.

What are the components of wind power generation system?

In terms of configuration, wind power generation system normally consists of wind turbine, generator, and grid interface converters where the generator is one of the core components. There are the following wind power generation technologies such as synchronous generator, induction generator, and doubly fed induction generator.

What is wind energy used for?

Wind energy is also used to provide power in remote or off-grid locations. Small wind turbines can supply electricity to rural communities, islands, and remote industrial sites. Wind energy can be integrated with other renewable energy sources, such as solar power, to create hybrid systems.

What are the different types of wind power generating systems?

The commonly used wind power generation systems include the direct-driven wind power generating set and the double-fed wind power generating set; the direct-driven wind power generating set is connected to the grid through a full power converter, while the double-fed wind power generating set is connected to the grid through a double-fed converter.
