Abstract |
Starting from some consideration on wind power plants, it is pointed out how a good exploitation of aeolian source is connected to the production of electric power with variable voltage and frequency in a large field of values. A kind of plant with an inverter supplied from an AC/DC converter is proposed: the attention is given to the characteristics necessary in order to satisfy the demands of wind power plants. A small power prototype realized with a N-MOS power transistor is shown. All the components, both power and control, are of a commercial type. The results of the test, carried out on the prototype, are demonstrated in conclusion. They indicate some of the converter working characteristics in the various operative modalities of the system. |
