A new wind turbine generating system that employs a current-source thyristor inverter is proposed, and the steady-state and dynamic performances for a practical system are discussed. The proposed system is essentially based on the shaft generator system that is widely used in large ships, and it has many features such as high reliability and generation of output power of high quality. It is shown that electric power with constant frequency and voltage with low distortion can be obtained by using this novel system despite the changes in the velocity of natural wind. A dynamic model of the system is also developed, and a good agreement between simulated and experimental performances is obtained, thereby confirming the validity of the model.
