Small wind energy converters can be the main electric power sources for residential and commercial applications, as well as for microgrids. While the technology of large wind turbines is already mature, small wind energy converters are yet under intensive study and development. The majority of these investigations are focusing on the electrical generators to find the best technology and to improve their efficiency and other key characteristics. This paper is a survey of the modular variable reluctance generators to be used in such applications.
