Abstract:
An inventory has been made of electrical systems in wind turbines. Thefirst part concerns types of generators and includes variable reluctance,
brushless double fed, superposing gearbox and hypocycloid options. Assessment
criteria are chosen to rank these systems. The second part focuses on the
transmission of the electric power to the shore. Innovative designs are
discussed and a preliminary economic evaluation is presented. A more detailed
study is in progress. 11 refs.
