Stringent grid codes imposed by transmission system operators (TSOs) have led wind turbine manufacturers to overdesign their products. As an individual power generator, each single wind turbine has to meet those regulations. However, in a “farm” like configuration, a different approach can...

This paper presents an alternative design of wind turbine. Wind turbine design includes subsystem elements necessary to satisfy rigorous grid codes imposed by transmission system operators (TSOs). While the addition of these components assures compliance they have an impact on the overall...
