4. Switched Reluctance Wind Turbine Generator. Switched reluctance wind turbine generators have features such as strong rotor and stator. With the rotor''s rotations, the reluctance of the magnetic circuit linking the stator and rotor changes. It then, in turn, induces currents in the winding on the armature (stator).
As the wind power technology develops, the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind power system, when connected to a weak network with large impedance, may suffer resonances, i.e., Sub

The average cost of a small roof-mounted turbine (between 0.5 kW to 2.5 kW), is about £2,000 5. But these don''t generate very much electricity, so it will take a very long time to recoup that cost. On average, a free-standing 5kW wind turbine may cost between £20,000 and £25,000.
Typically, the large installed wind turbines in utility grids are between 1.5-5MW whilst 7.5 and 10 MW are under extensive development, as shown in Fig. 1. Nowadays, modern wind turbines are
The large diameter of the ring allows the generator to create a lot of power when turning at the same speed as the blades (8–20 rotations per minute), so it doesn''t need a gearbox to speed it up to the thousands of rotations per minute other generators require.

China''s largest turbine manufacturer Sinovel designed and developed the world''s tenth biggest wind turbine, the SL6000 6MW. The 6MW offshore wind turbine has a 128m diameter rotor and offers a swept area of 12,868m². It is the first 6MW wind turbine in China to be independently developed by a domestic company.
Small, individual wind turbines can produce 100 kilowatts of power, enough to power a home. Small wind turbines are also used for places like water pumping stations. Slightly larger wind turbines sit on towers that are as tall as 80 meters (260 feet) and have rotor blades that extend approximately 40 meters (130 feet) long.
