What are Variable-Speed Wind Turbines?
Fixed speed wind turbines only reach peak efficiency at a specific wind speed, while variable speed wind turbines achieve maximum efficiency across a wider range of wind speeds. Variable speed wind turbines have control over reactive power, whereas fixed speed ones do not have any control. Harmonics are generated by …
