This paper presents a concept of a energy conversion system dedicated for application in a prototype SHP which is based on a permanent magnet (PM) generators with a propeller turbine integrated with the generator rotors. These PM generators can work at a variable speed and therefore energy produced by the PM generators have to be converted by means of a power electronic unit to fit to the three-phase power grid parameters. The elements of such SHP like PM generator and power electronic unit are described in details.}, doi = {10.4467/2353737XCT.14.036.1813}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/czasopismo-techniczne/artykul/prototype-set-for-higher-efficiency-of-energetic-potential-exploitation-in-shp} }
