Excitation Controlled Synchronous Generator-based Wind Turbine (ECSG WT) is a recently proposed Wind Turbine (WT) scheme that has not been fully investigated in detail. This paper intends to analyze the performance of the ECSG WT scheme and compare it with those of two mainstream WT schemes based on electrically excited synchronous generator, i.e., VSC-based full converter WT and diode bridge rectifier-based WT equipped with boost converter on its Direct Current (DC) link. The objective of this comparison is to demonstrate great potentials of ECSG WT to be considered in the wind industry. To do so, two successful Wind Turbine (WT) schemes in the market that are structurally close to ECSG WT...
