Abstract
The behavior of power systems with large wind energy farms requires a detailed examination of the available wind turbine technologies to evaluate the power capabilities of each technology and their operating regions. Wind turbines can be classified between fixed-speed (small speed changes due to generator slip) and variable-speed.
