This chapter focuses on the formulation and solving of the main control problems specific to low-power wind energy conversion systems (WECS) depending on their use either for grid-connected or for stand-alone application systems. This chapter approaches three classes of problems - namely, the low-power WECS specificity, operation of low-power WECS within grid-connected applications and use of low-power WECS as parts of stand-alone multi-source systems supplying isolated loads - with special focus on the associated control problems. A comprehensive synthesis of main results from the literature is aimed at, also giving the opportunity of presenting some results obtained by the authors.
