Description
Summary:Many different types of wind turbines have been connected to the power systems of the world in recent years, and their primary focus was to design them to be more efficient and reliable. In this paper, three main types of wind turbines are modeled and compared. The performances of these wind turbines during a severe three-phase fault at the end of a transmission line are simulated and their characteristics are analyzed. Finally the operation and maintenance costs of these wind turbines are discussed and proper applications of these wind turbines are pointed out.
