are you referring to modern wind turbines and solar farms which have their output converted through power electronics?
I have literally never seen a large induction machine used as a generator, every machine larger than 300 kW I have seen has been a synchronous machine. If I've read about 600 different power plants, 598 of them have had synchronous machines.
Where in the world, what application, and in what age of installation are engineers choosing induction machines + power electronics over synchronous machines?
