Control of Wind Turbine Generators
Another view – by controlling the frequency of the stator currents (e.g., through power electronics) we can control the rotor speed. We''ll see that by control of the voltage phase angle, can generate unique

The stator is a fixed structure mounted on a supporting base, and the generator rotor spins within or outside the stator. As the generator rotor spins, it creates a rotating magnetic field, which causes
Basically, the synchronous generator is a synchronous electro-mechanical machine used as a generator and consists of a magnetic field on the rotor that rotates
• Most modern, larger generators have a stationary armature (stator) with a rotating current-carrying conductor (rotor or revolving field). As the PMG rotor rotates, it produces AC voltage
Once the stator and rotor are complete, the generator proceeds to final assembly. Using hydraulic equipment, the rotor is inserted into the stator while maintaining a precise air gap of 2–4 mm.
The generator consists of a rotor, which is connected to the turbine''s main shaft, and a stator, which surrounds the rotor. When the rotor spins, it creates a
Central to this process are two indispensable components: the stator and the rotor. Together, they form the dynamic heart of power generation, transforming motion
The stator is a crucial fixed component in a wind turbine, mounted on a supporting base, where the generator rotor spins, either within or outside of
For over 40 years, Sotek has manufactured high-performance stators and rotors for wind power generation systems. As a U.S.-based, ISO-certified supplier, we
