Conceptual Study of Vernier Generator and Rectifier Association for Low Power Wind Energy Systems

In this paper, we study a wind energy conversion system designed for domestic use in urban or agricultural areas. We first present the turbine, which was specifically designed to be installed on the buildings that it supplies. Based on turbine characteristics, we perform analytical sizing of a Perma...
