Nowadays, fossil combustibles are replaced by renewable energy sources. These renewable energies are nontoxic, dirt free, protected and reasonably cheap for the end-users. Renewable energy resources like bio-gas, geothermal, solar, tidal waves and wind have been found as the best alternative energy sources. Among these renewable energy sources, wind energy stands first and foremost for generating electricity.In order to have a constant utilization of wind energy maximum power from wind energy has to be extracted. In this paper, various control strategies prevalent to both the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) have been analyzed. In addition, control topologies applicable to power electronics converter/inverter used in wind electric generators are discussed.
