Abstract: Electric drive systems driven by wind turbines are essential to distributed generation (DG) because they lower transmission losses, enhance grid stability, and promote sustainable energy goals. Local renewable energy production is made possible by these systems, supporting the objectives of sustainable energy. This article examines the performance of wind turbine systems that use electric drives, such as induction generators and power electronic converters, for distributed generation (DG) applications, as well as the obstacles that arise during integration and the technological breakthroughs that have been made. Our evaluation of the system's fault tolerance, frequency control capabilities, and efficiency is accomplished through the examination of simulation models and case studies based on the real world. The most important findings suggest that integrating energy storage and advanced control systems allows for the reduction of variability issues, which can result in distribution networks reaching constant output of up to 9 megawatts. DG penetration is optimized through the use of hybrid systems, and the paper closes with recommendations for future research in hybrid systems.
