Small wind turbines, also known as micro wind turbines or urban wind turbines, are wind turbines that generate electricity for small-scale use. These turbines are typically smaller than those found in wind farms. Small wind turbines often have passive yaw systems as opposed to active ones. They use a direct drive generator and use a tail fin to point into the wind, whereas larger turbines have geared powertrains

Small wind energy systems can be used in connection with the utility owned electricity distribution system (called grid-connected systems), or in stand-alone applications that are not connected to the utility grid. A grid-connected wind turbine can reduce your consumption of utility-supplied electricity for lighting, appliances, and electric heat.
With a capacity of less than 50 kW, small wind turbines typically have a diameter of more than 2.1 metres, whereas micro wind turbines generally have a diameter below 2.1 metres, and outputs limited
The potential of small-scale wind energy systems depends on factors such as wind speed, location, and the type of wind energy harvesting system used [3]. The unpredictable wind conditions in urban areas can make it difficult to generate a steady and reliable source of energy.

In a small-to-medium-scale wind energy conversion system (WECS), diode rectifiers rather than pulse-width modulated (PWM) rectifiers are widely adopted due to the features of high reliability and low cost. However, large current harmonics are induced in the generator phase current by commutations of diode rectifier, eventually causing large torque ripple
