This paper presents a new variable speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS). It is based on a six-phase asymmetrical squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) and a matrix converter (MC) as power electronic interface between six-phase SCIG and electrical network. The analysis employs a rotor flux vector control algorithm and a scalar strategy modulated MC to control the generator. Characteris...

At the present time Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind energy conversion systems are widely used for large wind power plants. DFIG offers many advantages for instance reduced rating power converter, low cost and reduced losses with the better efficiency, easy in realization of power factor correction schemes, variable speed operation and four quadrants active and reactive power co...

The paper presents an optimum design procedure for the controller used in the frequency converter of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) driven doubly fed asynchronous generator (DFAG) by using Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. The cascaded control is frequently used in the control of the frequency converter using the proportional PI controllers. The setting of the parameters of the PI co...

For economic benefit of wind power generation, the equivalent conversion relationships and models between the different “quality” energy are studied deeply in the conversion processes of wind energy. Considering the effect of load demand characteristics and energy supply price on the wind energy utilization mode comprehensively, the multi-objective trans-utilization optimization model of wind e...

This paper proposes a novel optimal current given (OCG) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control strategy based on the theory of power feedback and hill climb searching (HCS) for a permanent magnet direct drive wind energy conversion system (WECS). The presented strategy not only has the advantages of not needing the wind speed and wind turbine characteristics of the traditional HCS method, ...

High penetration of wind power in the electricity system provides many challenges to power system operators, mainly due to the unpredictability and variability of wind power generation. Although wind energy may not be dispatched, an accurate forecasting method of wind speed and power generation can help power system operators reduce the risk of an unreliable electricity supply. This paper propo...

This study introduces new tuning technique for the PID control scheme and its application to regulate the voltage magnitude and the frequency of wind energy conversion system (WECS). The developed technique is stem from blending the ant system optimization method with Takagi Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy system approach. The optimum relationship between the PID controller gains and the parameters of T-S f...
