Doubly fed induction generator systems for wind turbines
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that adjustable speed generators for wind turbines are necessary when output power becomes higher than 1.5 MW, e.g., for off-shore applications.

Microgrid: a conceptual solution
Robert H. Lasseter,P. Paigi +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a system approach which views generation and associated loads as a subsystem or a "microgrid". During disturbances, the generation and corresponding loads can separate from the distribution system to isolate the microgrid's load from the disturbance (providing UPS services) without harming the transmission grid's integrity.

Modeling and control of a wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator
TL;DR: In this paper, the simulation results of a grid-connected wind driven doubly fed induction machine (DFIM) together with some real machine performance results are presented for operating conditions below and above synchronous speed, which are actually achieved by a double-sided PWM converter joining the machine rotor to the grid.
