Abstract

Wind energy is an important part of the worldwide electric system since it brings in 690 GW offshore, in land, in interconnected and non-interconnected areas. This article presents a review of scientific literature to identify trends and areas of development regarding WIND POWER ELECTRIC GENERATOR (WPG). Literary review was carried out using IEEE XPLORE, Science Direct and Web of Science, thus compiling more than 500 articles classified by source, year and country with most publications, as well as areas of development and critical variables. The results of the literary review show that the DUAL FED INDUCTION GENERATOR DFIG is the most commonly used in WPG and that control strategies are mostly applied in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS), in addition to modelling and finite element analysis FEM-FEA. It is concluded that the development trends are oriented towards Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT), and Wind Vibrational Power Generators are proposed as an alternative in future work.
