Optimising Capacitors for Wind Power Applications


ImageAll wind turbines face a similar set of challenges. They need to extract power at low wind speeds and fluctuating wind profiles in order to maintain adequate yield. They also need to ensure adequate power quality to operate appliances or to feed into a grid. In addition, the electrical system must be constructed to minimise losses and thereby maintain high efficiency and reliability. In this article, the author, from Vishay Intertechnology, Inc, discusses how capacitors can be optimised to meet these challenges.
