Does anyone know about converters in wind turbines?

I would like information about converters. I.E. where does their power supply come from? Are there different kinds of converters? Any Calculations that deal with their application in wind turbines? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Wind turbine feasibility study – wind speed monitoring (wind data logging) equipment?

I am planning on installing a wind turbine in my home and considering the price of the turbines in the market, it seemed a good idea to buy a wind data monitoring system. I’m looking for a system that would be measure both wind speed and direction (other sensors are not essential). It should also be able to record considerable amount of data record data (3-4 months) and it should be self powered (or atleast run on a rechargable battery).

Please help me find a manufacturer or dealer of the equipment i’m looking for.

Thank you.

How much energy does a ROOFTOP wind turbine…?

…have to produce in order to be linked to the main grid? I’m not really interested in the battery backup system but feel free to include that info as well.

Could you explain these NUMBERS to me like I were a vegetable please?

-generator rpm
-kW
-voltage

Please tell me how they are related and whatever else there is to it. Thanks

Wind generator for science fair help?

Okay.I’ve been having trouble with this project.

What is the best propeller design for a wind generator?
Would you maximize the surface orthogonal to presumed wind direction? How would this affect long term wear? As we look for alternate energy sources, the design of alternative energy generators will become increasingly important.

I don’t understand what the control and variables would be.
