Prospects of Implementation of a Synchronous Reluctance Machine in Low Power Wind Plants

Abstract

The prospects for the development of small wind energy in Ukraine are considered. The advantages and main problems of the introduction of low power wind plants in rural areas and the urban environment are assessed. The main types of electrical machines that can be used for small wind energy tasks are considered. Their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. It is shown that the use of synchronous reluctance machines is promising for low-power wind power plants. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of electric machines allow us to assert their prospects for low power renewable energy installations.
