Abstract

Owing to meet the incremental need of energy with exhaustion of fossil fuel in few upcoming years, renewable power generation has emerged as a potential and permanent solution in present scenario. In this regard, research has diverted toward exploration and development of various new techniques of renewable power generation for last few decades, and various systems have been adopted in both isolated and grid connected modes. Among various available options (solar, wind, biomass, tidal, etc.), the wind power generation system has a major market share due to its pollution-free operation together with its economic viability and mature technology. Presently, wind power generation system is increasing exponentially, particularly in on-shore sites of India and European subcontinents. Wind power generation system works on a successful operation and coordination of various parts, where an electric generator is an important component. Hence, the selection of suitable electrical machine (as generator) is of paramount importance for reliable operation of complete wind power generation system. Conventionally, three-phase electrical machine is employed. But, in last two ...
