Abstract
The use of wind power generation is increasingly being pursued as a supplement and an alternative to large conventional central power stations. The specification of the power electronics interface is subject to requirements related not only to the renewable energy source itself but also to its effects on power system operation, especially where the intermittent energy source constitutes a significant part of the total system capacity. In this paper, current technology and new trends in power electronics for the integration of wind power generators are presentedKeywords
