Control of Modular Multilevel Converters for Grid Integration of Full-Scale Wind Energy Conversion Systems

Debnath, Suman Ph.D., Purdue University, May 2015. Control of Modular Multilevel Converters for Grid Integration of Full-scale Wind Energy Conversion Systems. Major Professors: Maryam Saeedifard and Steve D. Pekarek. The growing demand for wind power generation has pushed the capacity of wind turbines towards MW power levels. Higher capacity of the wind turbines necessitates operation of the ge...

Modeling and Simulation of Grid Connected Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG)-based Small Wind Energy Conversion Systems

A small scale wind energy conversion system has tremendous diversity of use and operating conditions, and consequently is evolving rapidly along with the large scale wind energy conversion system for generation of electricity in either stand-alone or grid connected applications. In recent years, the grid connected small wind turbine industry is primarily dominated by the Permanent Magnet Genera...

Reinforcement Learning Based PID Control of Wind Energy Conversion Systems

In this paper an adaptive PID controller for Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) has been developed. Theadaptation technique applied to this controller is based on Reinforcement Learning (RL) theory. Nonlinearcharacteristics of wind variations as plant input, wind turbine structure and generator operational behaviordemand for high quality adaptive controller to ensure both robust stability an...

A proposed strategy for power optimization of a wind energy conversion system connected to the grid

Keywords: Wind turbine Doubly fed induction generator Optimization Matrix converter Power control Sliding mode control a b s t r a c t Many strategies have been developed in last decade to optimize power extracted from wind energy conversion system where many of them can produce only 30% more than the rated power. With the considered strategy, the generated wind power can reach twice its nomina...
