This document discusses various components involved in wind energy conversion systems including permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG), doubly fed induction generators (DFIG), squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG), and their connection to the grid through power converters. It describes the power flow from the wind turbine through a permanent magnet synchronous generator, rectifier, DC-link, inverter, and filter before connecting to the grid. It also mentions use of energy storage systems and flexible AC transmission systems to help integrate wind power onto the grid.
