Abstract: A wind turbine system is provided. In various embodiments, the system includes a nacelle supported by a tower. At least one rotor blade is rotatably connected with the nacelle to capture wind energy. The at least one rotor blade rotates relative to the nacelle for generating electricity. A generator is coupled to the nacelle for converting the wind energy into electrical energy. A transformer-converter assembly comprises a converter and a transformer such that the converter is integrally connected to the transformer. An electrical and control module is electronically coupled to the generator and the transformer-converter assembly.
