Abstract

This paper describes the revolutionary new wind

turbine GARBI 150. The 150 kW permanent magnet

synchronous generator and its full power converter with control

in four quadrants make it interesting in medium scale wind

power applications.

The generator allows direct connection to the electrical

distribution grid.

The torque and pitch control have been designed to maximize

energy capture and minimize fatigue loading of the turbine

structure. These controllers are being validated with a first wind

turbine prototype. A supervision system has also been

implemented.
