Synchronous inverters provide a convenient method of interconnecting wind systems to a utility grid for producing utility-compatible power. There are a number of problems associated with synchronous converter use, however, that must be considered in this application to prevent undesirable interaction with the utility system. The basic principles of synchronous conversion and potential problems of using synchronous converters for interconnecting wind units to electric distribution systems are discussed.
