What it shows

  • DFIG sends 70% of power straight from stator to grid at fixed frequency.
  • Back-to-back converter handles 30% rotor power for wide slip-speed control.
  • Nacelle transformer steps 690V generation up to 33kV to cut collector losses.

The takeaway

DFIG designs downsize costly power electronics to roughly 30% while maintaining variable turbine speed.
