What is better to feed a 500W asynchronous motor?

Click For Summary
Feeding a 500W asynchronous motor can be done with either an asynchronous or synchronous aerogenerator, but the choice depends on specific needs. An asynchronous generator is simpler but relies on grid support for voltage and frequency control, making it less suitable for off-grid applications. In contrast, a synchronous generator can operate independently of the grid, providing a more reliable power source in remote settings. The definition of "better" hinges on the application context, such as whether grid connectivity is available. Ultimately, the choice should align with the operational requirements and environment of the motor.

TL;DR
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.
