Abstract
A wind turbine includes a turbine rotor with at least one blade and a generator with a rotor and a stator. The turbine rotor is mechanically coupled with the rotor of the generator. A diode rectifier is electrically coupled to the stator of the generator. A direct current link is electrically coupled with the diode rectifier. A line converter is electrically coupled with the direct current link.

17. A method of operating a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a turbine rotor with at least one blade, a generator with a rotor and a stator, the turbine rotor being mechanically coupled with the rotor of the generator, a diode rectifier being electrically coupled to the stator of the generator, a direct current link being electrically coupled with the diode rectifier, and a line converter being electrically coupled with the direct current link, and the method comprising:
-
measuring an actual power flowing through the line converter; and
adjusting the actual power to a given desired power of the wind turbine. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
