摘要：
The holistic objective of producing 100% renewable generated electricity motivates the development of low-power and efficient domestic wind turbines. The wind turbine's efficiency can be maximized by operating it in a variable speed configuration, thus harvesting all the wind power. However, the harvesting process requires a two-stage conversion from AC to DC and from DC-DC or DC-AC. The paper aims to analyze the performance of the first stage of AC-DC rectification in terms of output voltage ripple and voltage regulation when the loading conditions vary abruptly. In addition, this work investigates the basic uncontrolled and controlled rectification methods for low-power wind turbines. The role of the output capacitance and its effect on output voltage ripples is illustrated. Finally, the paper highlights the design of a three-phase controlled rectifier using a simple yet effective firing angle control of a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) device. The delay caused due to the firing angle variations is reported in the simulations and experimental results to support the conclusion drawn from this study.
