Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an armature for a wind turbine generator. The generator may be a permanent magnet generator. The present disclosure further relates to methods for operating such armature, generator and wind turbine. A method may include partially short-circuiting the armature windings by closing a first switch and inducing currents in the armature windings by the wind acting on the wind turbine blades.
