If the wind speed is low, the generator can act as a motor to begin turning the blades. The voltage from the grid helps the motor come up to near-synchronous speed and starts the...See more on electricalacademia ScienceDirect
Synchronous Generator - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Synchronous generators are commonly used for variable speed wind-turbine applications, due to their low rotational synchronous speeds that produce the voltage at grid frequency.
