With the development of economy, the energy demand is becoming bigger and bigger, the development of wind energy is one of the main ways to solve energy crisis. In terms of energy utilization, high power wind power connected to the grid is currently one of the most effective ways of wind energy utilization. The wind power generation system connected to the grid plays the role of the changing wind energy into mechanical energy by wind turbines, and then converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by a generator. Because CSCF wind turbine works with the gearbox, which is low efficiency, noise and mechanical loss. And it has not been able to meet the needs of the times. Therefore, the direct drive wind power technology capable of tracking the maximal power point of wind power at rated wind speed has become one of the hot spots in the present research. This paper introduces the converter of the direct drive wind power system and analyzes the working principle of the direct driven permanent magnet synchronous wind power system.

The rising demands for a sustainable energy system have stimulated global interests in renewable energy sources. Wind is the fastest growing and promising source of renewable power generation globally. The inclusion of wind power into the electric grid can severely impact the monetary cost, stability and quality of the grid network due to the erratic nature of wind. Power electronics technology can enable optimum performance of the wind power generation system, transferring suitable and applicable energy to the electricity grid. Power electronics can be used for smooth transfer of wind energy to electricity grid but the technology for wind turbines is influenced by the type of generator employed, the energy demand and the grid requirements. This paper investigates the constraints and standards of wind energy conversion technology and the enabling power electronic technology for integration to electricity grid.

Wind energy is the worlds fastest growing renewable energy source in recent years, and it has drawn worldwide attention. Due to high efficiency, simple topology and stable operation, variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) direct-drive wind power generation system using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is the development trend and one of the focuses of wind power generation system research. The paper introduces the trend of the development wind power generation and the recently research stage on the wind power generation. Based on the VSCF power fundamental principle, the dissertation analyzes the strategy of wind turbine simulation. In the development of wind power generating system, the wind turbine emulator becomes more and more important because it can provide controllable wind turbine characteristics. Simplified mathematical model based on the CT-λ curve is constructed, the system structure and emulation method are analyzing. Hardware and software are designed and implemented, and a laboratory set-up is building which based on DC motor. Experimental results show that the wind turbine emulator is as good as expected.
