Abstract

See full text

A method of starting a wind turbine generator of any type of polyphase AC machine, including, but not limited to, brushless DC or permanent magnet machines is disclosed. The machine starts from a dead stop or from low speed operation and is accelerated to the cut in speed for power production. The start-up is realized utilizing the common set of electrical conductors and the power converter also used for capturing the generated power. Under initial operation, the power converter executes a PWM modulation technique to drive the machine. Periodically, the PWM modulation is stopped to read the electrical position of the generator.
