Which of the following is true statement for fixed-speed system for wind power when compared to variable system? Correct Answer Higher reliability

Advantages of fixed-speed speed over Variable system for wind power

  • The construction of fixed speed wind turbine is simple, robust, and reliable.
  • Cost of the electrical part is low.
  • The variable speed system is somewhat more complex than the fixed speed system.
  • No frequency conversion hence no current harmonics.
