Advantages and disadvantages of FSWT and VSWT [9].

	Advantages
FSWT	(i) Simple, robust, reliable; (ii) Low cost and maintenance
VSWT	(i) High energy conversion, efficiency; (ii) Improved power quality; (iii) Reduced mechanical stress
	Disadvantages
FSWT	(i) Relatively low energy conversion efficiency; (ii) High mechanical stress; (iii) High power fluctuations to the grid
VSWT	(i) Additional cost and losses due to use of converters; (ii) More complex control system
