Abstract

The wind energy has become the most potential renewable energy source recently. The technological and industrial development in the wind power generation indicates that wind power should be seen as one of the main domestic sources for electricity generation in all countries. This paper gives an overall observation of the most commonly used electrical machines, i.e. the squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG) and doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) in the wind generation systems. Using the Matlab/Simulink, a simulation of wind farm with the two types of generators has been made in order to compare the results and to comment on the best option based on the output characteristics of the generator and wind turbine.
