Small-scale stand-alone wind energy systems are an important alternative
source of electrical energy, finding applications in locations where
conventional generation is not practical. Unfortunately, most of these
systems do not capture power at every wind speed-especially low wind speeds
which are low in power but can be very common. To address this problem, the
authors have proposed a power electronic converter, designed for efficiency,
simplicity and ruggedness. A simple feed forward technique is presented
using discrete components and minimal sensors. Test data are presented,
indicating that the technique eliminates the standard "cut-in" wind speed
and expands the operating range of a wind turbine.

Anyone subscribe to this journal? I am interested in what electronic
components they are using.
