TLDR
In this article, the authors discuss the most emerging renewable energy source, wind energy, which by means of power electronics is changing from being a minor energy source to be acting as an important power source in the energy system.Abstract:
The global electrical energy consumption is still rising and there is a steady demand to increase the power capacity. The production, distribution and the use of the energy should be as technological efficient as possible and incentives to save energy at the end-user should be set up. The deregulation of energy has lowered the investment in larger power plants, which means the need for new electrical power sources may be very high in the near future. Two major technologies will play important roles to solve the future problems. One is to change the electrical power production sources from the conventional, fossil (and short term) based energy sources to renewable energy resources. The other is to use high efficient power electronics in power systems, power production and end-user application. This paper discuss the most emerging renewable energy source, wind energy, which by means of power electronics is changing from being a minor energy source to be acting as an important power source in the energy system. By that wind power is also getting an added value in the power system operation.read more

A Novel Scheme for Rapid Tracking of Maximum Power Point in Wind Energy Generation Systems
TL;DR: In this article, a novel maximum power point (MPP) tracking (MPPT) algorithm for grid-connected wind energy generation systems (WEGS) is presented, which is a rapid tracking algorithm that uses the fact that the value of?s,? an intermediate variable, especially defined for the purpose, remains constant ( =sMPP ) for a given WEGS at the MPP irrespective of the wind velocity.
