Conclusion
1. Introduction
Utilization of wind energy is mainly focused on the high wind
speed regions. By now, wind energies contained in the low wind
speed areas, which are also abundant, have not been utilized.
The wind energies contained in inland areas are mostly the type of
low wind speed.
With the enhancement of using the green energy, the wind power
technologies suitable for low wind speed are very important, which
helps to develop wind energy resource of inland areas.
2. Low wind-speed wind power technology
Low wind-speed power technology should consider following
demands:
1 improve the wind power coefficient in low wind speedconditions
2 reduce the start-up, cut-in wind speedand rated wind speed
3 implement the speed-increasing device with high performance
and low cost to match the highly efficient operation of the generator
4 adopt effective control strategy for tracking the maximum wind

2 An optimum design of blades suitable for low wind speed is proposed
to realize the efficient absorbing of low-speed wind energy;
3 It is flexible to apply the conventional permanent magnet
synchronous generator (PMSG) and the ironless PMSG. So that the low
starting torque and the low cut-in wind speed can be realized.

The operation data shows that
1 The start-up wind speed of the wind turbine is about 2.5m/ s, and the cut-in
speed is about 3m/ s
2 The rated wind speed is in the range of 6m/ s to 8m/ s
3 When wind speed is less than 6.0m/ s, the system can capture the
maximum wind energy, and the wind power coefficient varies from 0.35 to
0.4
4 The power quality of PCC point, such as harmonic current, harmonic
voltage, power factor, voltage unbalance, voltage flicker can meet the
requirements of the relevant standards.

4. Conclusion
According to the performance of the developed system, such as
the start-up wind speed, cut-in wind speed, rated wind speed, and
the wind speed range of MPPT, the scheme can be implemented in
the low wind speed regions for realizing the high efficient,
economical and reliable utilization of the wind energy.
The development of wind power in low wind speed regions has
enormous potentials. By the utilization of this type of wind power,
only low network capacity is required, less cost of operation and
maintenance can also be realized.
