“…The average size and power of commercial wind turbines has significantly increased in the last decades, as shown by Herbert et al (2014), and the quantity of wind increases with the increment of height. A tower is used to place the rotor at high altitudes in order to capture more wind energy (Herbert et al, 2014). However, there is a lack of data on how it works in practice and how effectively it depends on the hub height and the diameter of rotor.…”

Analysis of wind power utilization efficiency around the world and Europe has revealed the gap between feasible and factual power generation. The paper presents an investigation of wind power generation dynamics, penetration levels into the electricity system, and dependence of capacity factors on the hub height and the rotor diameter of wind turbines in the Baltic States. These factors are the main for the evaluation of wind power utilization efficiency. Wind power penetration levels show that possibilities of the energy system to accept more wind power installations in the Baltic States are far away from its limit. Besides, dependence of high wind turbines capacity factors’ on the hub height and the rotor diameter in the range of 20–120 m was revealed.

“…With the modern development of RESs, applications of M-MCs topologies are hindered due to their performance issues such as poor power quality, uneconomical structure and low efficiency [64]. Specially, the M-MC technology is bright future in medium-voltage systems, such as DC collection grids of large wind turbines [65], large PV integration [60], wave energy integration, large marine current and wind energy [66]. Modularity, redundancy and high-quality voltage waveforms make the M-MC a viable solution for DC transmission applications.…”

“…When the number of levels increases the voltage stress can be reduced through the power switches, which are driven with a low communication frequency [75]. M-MCs provide a feasible access to build up a reliable and cost-effective STATCOM [66], with an increase the number of levels is capable to ignore the coupling transformer and substituting it with economical reactors with the power system to allow power exchange. In extension, under unbalanced conditions, it can operate continuously and it is capable of surviving symmetrical and asymmetrical faults [76] it has the fault management capability without increasing the risk of system collapse [45].…”

Recently developed modular-multilevel converter (M-MC) has a major attention in the industry and research works which is moving into feasible technology for many medium and high-power applications. M-MCs have been improved by existing power conversion technology in several aspects, including efficiency, modular structure, power quality, transformerless operational capability, fault tolerant and redundancy operations having a low expense, standard components utilisation, high availability, excellent quality of output wave forms. However, as several challenges combined with M-MC topologies, include reduced voltage stress, compact size, and substantially lower semiconductor losses. These attributes the lower operating cost for high-power applications such as distribution systems and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems. The main contribution of this study is to bring the scrutiny of M-MC applications and different circuit topologies. These M-MC configurations consist of converter structures with sub-module converters and M-MC family members. In such a way, the M-MC applications are generalised and it results the size and cost halved, reduced conduction and switching losses and increases system reliabilities. Moreover, in each application of M-MC, drawbacks, and advantages have been discussed in detail. This review presents the latest performance of M-MC with respect to the mentioned research areas and new applications.

“…Which is inclusive of control system, design, loads, blade behavior, generators, transformers, and grid connection. In 2014, a review of notable technical as well as environmental impacts of wind farms, wind power resource assessment techniques, control strategies, and grid integration techniques, were conducted [15]. A comparative investigation was conducted using a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control [16] between the optimized configurations of passive wind turbine generators with that of the active ones that operate at optimal wind power.…”

Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) plays an inevitable role across the world. WECS consist of many components and equipment’s such as turbines, hub assembly, yaw mechanism, electrical machines; power electronics based power conditioning units, protection devices, rotor, blades, main shaft, gear-box, mainframe, transmission systems and etc. These machinery and devices technologies have been developed on gradually and steadily. The electrical machine used to convert mechanical rotational energy into electrical energy is the core of any WECS. Many electrical machines (generator) has been used in WECS, among the generators the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) have gained special focus, been connected with wind farms to become the most desirable due to its enhanced efficiency in power conversion from wind energy turbine. This article provides a review of literatures and highlights the updates, progresses, and revolutionary trends observed in WECS-based PMSGs. The study also compares the geared and direct-driven conversion systems. Further, the classifications of electrical machines that are utilized in WECS are also discussed. The literature review covers the analysis of design aspects by taking various topologies of PMSGs into consideration. In the final sections, the PMSGs are reviewed and compared for further investigations. This review article predominantly emphasizes the conceptual framework that shed insights on the research challenges present in conducting the proposed works such as analysis, suitability, design, and control of PMSGs for WECS.
