Power Electronics converters become nowadays the most important part in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). They are an intermediate between the generator and grid to achieve low cost, high power density and reliability. This paper deals with the analysis on the topology and control of the most power Electronics Converters for generators using in WECS. Design, (dis)advantages, and market penetration are analyzed and discussed. The control includes maximum power point tracking, dc bus voltage control, balancing of the dc capacitor voltages, and reactive power generation are also analyzed. Simulations have been carried out using MATLAB/SIMULINK on the control strategies for the case of back to back converter with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) demonstrating its good potential to meet the grid connection requirements. Keywords: Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS), power electronics converters, back to back converter, maximum power point tracking, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).

Wind energy conversion systems continue to show promises as energy source of the future. To champion the supply for future industrial and domestic energy demand, it is imperative to improve on their reliability, energy extraction efficiency and security as these factors would enormously affect their viability and deployment. This paper presents an overview of the applications of power electronics to speed control of generators in wind energy conversion systems. Wind energy conversion system, the basis on which they are classified and their various components are concisely reviewed. Further, an up-to-date highlight of wind turbines speed control schemes is presented with focus on the roles of power electronics in these schemes. Concluding, necessary technological and economic development to aid applications of power electronics devices in emerging wind energy systems and their significance to the microgrid is understudied.
