It is necessary that the grid-connected inverter was set up in wind power, in order to convey energy generated in wind power to the grid. There are many sorts of inverters, but only two sorts of inverters suit wind power system, which are current-source inverter and voltage-source inverter, and only the later is being widely used. Their configuration, principle, control and characteristic were analyzed in this paper. Results have shown that, voltage-source grid-connected inverter has been the core of the commutation control configuration of direct-driven wind power, which is decided by the peculiarity of itself.
