do wind turbines produce ac or dc power
Wind turbine design Older style wind generators rotate at a constant speed, to match power line frequency, which allowed the use of less costly induction generators.[citation needed] Newer wind turbines often turn at whatever speed generates electricity most efficiently. The varying output frequency and voltage can be matched to the fixed values of the grid using multiple technologies such as doubly fed induction generators or full-effect converters where the variable frequency current produced is converted to DC and then back to AC. Although such alternatives require costly equipment and cause power loss, the turbine can capture a significantly larger fraction of the wind energy. In some cases, especially when turbines are sited offshore, the DC energy will be transmitted from the turbine to a central (onshore) inverter for connection to the grid.
Electromagnet The energy loss per cycle of the AC current is constant for each of these processes, so the power loss increases linearly with frequency.
