TL;DR Summary
Since some days ago, I were looking the anawer for this question for a project I'm working on but I don't find something accurate on any part.
What is better to feed a 500w asynchronous motor, an asynchronous or synchronous aerogenerator of 1kw? Why is a asynchronous/synchronous aereogenerator better in this case? Thanks you

A question well stated is half answered. This one is neither.

Always define your terms.


By aerogenerator i assume you mean windmill as opposed to an aircraft generator.
Definition of aerogenerator

: a wind-driven electric generator designed for utilization of wind power on a commercial scale
What do you mean by "better" ?
A garden variety motor won't know the difference between generators so long as voltage and frequency are reasonably controlled.
An asynchronous generator has control over neither of those parameters , so is simpler in concept but requires some sort of grid for excitation and frequency control.
But a synchronous generator can provide power in absence of the grid so would be logical for off the grid application.
