Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

This chapter focuses on wind energy conversion and power electronics modeling. In the first part, the global structure of a wind energy conversion system is presented. The modeling of the different parts is given with some simulation results obtained under Matlab/Simulink and the different structures of converters used in wind systems are presented. The second part of this chapter is devoted to power electronics modeling and some applications are given under Matlab/Simulink.
