The Ability Of Ac/dc Converters To Generate And Consume Reactive Power

ABSTRACT The conversion of an input AC power at a given frequency and voltage to an output power at different frequency and voltage can be obtained with static circuits called power converters, containing controllable power electronic devices. Various power converters have been developed to fulfill the requirements of the wind power generation. The most common option for the generators used in wind power generation is “asynchronous”, because support for speed variations is provided. This represents a major advantage, considering that the wind speed can exhibit fast variations, mainly during fl…
