4. Specificity of wind power generators

4.1 Asynchronous generators

In the field of grid-coupled power generation, asynchronous cage machines still dominate because they offer attractive performance in terms of investment cost, especially in basic solutions where they are directly connected to the grid (figure 11 a). When it comes to variable-speed drives, however, they are preferred to doubly-powered wound-rotor machines, which offer an excellent performance/cost compromise (figure
