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.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.1049/cp.2010.0098Power converterSmall wind turbineWind powerElectrical and Electronic EngineeringSDG 7 - Affordable and Clean Energyhttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=77956090106&partnerID=8YFLogxK
