A CVT is placed between turbine’s rotor and an induction generator directly connected to the power system, enabling better utilization of available wind power. We have developed methods to calculate the optimal CVT regulation curve in details and has been applied to the small WEC with rated power of 55 kW. Effects of generator’s winding resistance variation, caused by temperature change, have been studied further. During the testing we found that there is no impact of the calculated curves on the normally expected changes of the winding’s resistances.}, }
