The paper discusses the design and analysis of an external-rotor internal-stator doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) for small wind turbine applications using finite element method (FEM). The study highlights the advantages of DFIGs in optimizing power capture, reducing mechanical stress, and offering improved efficiency over fixed-speed systems. It provides a comprehensive examination of the DFIG’s operational principles, performance metrics, and its role in the growing renewable energy landscape.
