Vienna Rectifier Fed Squirrel Cage Induction Generator based Stand-alone Wind Energy Conversion System

Back-to-back voltage source converters are normally preferred for interfacing squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG) with loads in stand-alone wind power generation applications as they allow for maximum power point tracking. However, the total converter losses tend to be very high, especially near the rated wind speed. Therefore, to reduce the power converter related losses, a Vienna rectifier...
