Constant Speed Wind Turbine

Constant speed wind turbines are defined as turbines that operate with a fixed angular speed of the rotor, regardless of the wind speed, typically using induction or synchronous generators.

Fixed-Speed Wind Energy Conversion Systems

As the wind speed changes, rotational speed of the fixed-speed WECS system varies within 1% of the rated speed. Since the rotational speed varies within a small range, this type of WECS is

Modern large wind turbines operate at variable speeds. When wind speed falls below the turbine''s rated speed, generator torque is used to control the rotor speed to capture as much power as possible. The most power is captured when the tip speed ratio is held constant at its optimum value (typically between 6 and 7). This means that rotor speed increases proportional to wind speed. The diff
