Wind energy conversion systems (WECS) refer to systems that utilize rotor blades to convert wind kinetic energy into mechanical energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy by an electric generator. These systems can vary in topology, including fixed speed and variable speed configurations, as well as direct drive and geared types.
2013, Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews Dalibor Petković Žarko Ćojbašič Vlastimir Nikolić The major components of a typical wind energy conversion system include a wind turbine, a generator, interconnection apparatus, and control system. Therefore, the design of a wind energy conversion system is complex.
The solar and wind power outputs can fluctuate on an hourly or daily basis. The stand-alone system must, therefore, have some means of storing energy, which can be used later to supply the load during the periods of low or no power output.
The increase in the energy production from the variable speed wind turbine over the plant life more than offsets the added cost of the power electronics. In photovoltaic power systems, the DC power produced by the pv modules is inverted into 60 or 50 Hz AC power using the inverter.
