RT Conference Proceedings T1 Power converters used in grid connected small wind turbines: Analisys of alternatives A1 Kortabarria, Iñigo A1 Ibarra, Edorta A1 De Alegría, Iñigo Martínez A1 Andreu, Jon A1 Ascarza, Ainhoa AB Although the technology used in conventional wind power systems, consisting of large wind turbines, is well established, the technology of their little cousin, the small wind turbine, is still at the development stage. The first part of this article is given over to an introduction to the small wind turbine technology. The second part of this article describes three alternative converters, valid for use in small wind turbines, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each one of these alternatives.
