Design and development of a new three‐phase AC‐DC single‐stage wind energy conversion system

Abstract The prevalent use of the diode bridge rectifier in three phase wind energy conversion systems decreases the efficiency of the power generation. In standalone wind energy generation, bridgeless converters can address this problem by eliminating the front‐end diode bridge rectifier. This work...
