Two wind power generation systems

Can a hybrid energy system combine solar panels and wind turbines?

In the last few years the photovoltaic and wind power generation have been increased significantly. In this study, we proposed a hybrid energy system which combines both solar panel and wind turbine generator as an alternative for conventional source of electrical energy like thermal and hydro power generation.

How are wind turbines connected in series and parallel?

The wind turbines are then connected in series and parallel to form a wind farm with DC convergence and DC transmission. This paper proposes a new series–parallel structure for an all-DC wind power generation system.

How many types of wind power systems are there?

Full-DC wind power systems can be divided into two main types according to the way in which the energy is pooled, namely series and parallel [6, 7]. The parallel-type all-DC power generation systems include the machine-side boost type, the centralized boost type, the two-stage boost type, and three other types.

What are the components of wind turbine generation system?

The whole wind turbine generation system includes wind wheel, speed increasing gearbox, WINDRIVE speed regulating machine and synchronous generator . WINDRIVE consists of hydraulic torque converter and planetary gearbox . The hydraulic torque converter is directly coupled with the synchronous generator.
