A simple step and search control strategy for extracting maximum output power from grid connected Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion System (VSWECS) is implemented in this work. This system consists of a variable speed wind turbine coupled to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) through a gear box, a DC-DC boost converter and a hysteresis current controlled Voltage Source Converte...

This paper presents an analysis and simulation of a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) driving a low speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The results of the tests are obtained by using the PSIM computer simulation program. The voltage source PWM inverter is used to interface the system with the electrical utility that is simulated in this paper as a resistive-inductive load.

This paper presents the expansion of power quality for variable speed Wind Power System (WPS) using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and Trans Z-Source Inverter. The PMSG is having compact collection and dimensions, compare to Induction Generator. Induction Generator needs the grid power, then only start the power production. But without take up the grid power PMSG should produce t...

In this paper, a study on frequency adaptability of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is carried out, the influence mechanism changes PMSG revealed. It proposed that setting converter protection value and PLL parameters reasonably can ensure grid change has little effect PMSG. The simulation realized Matlab/Simulink, results verify correctness conclusion.

in this paper optimal torque control (otc) of stand-alone variable-speed small-scale wind turbine equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous generator and a switch- mode rectifier is presented. it is shown that with otc method in standalone configuration, power coefficient could be reached to its maximum possible value, i.e. 0.48. an appropriate control algorithm based on turbine characterist...

In this paper, a model of a variable speed wind turbine using a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is presented and the control schemes are proposed. The model presents the aerodynamic part of the wind turbine, the mechanic and the electric parts. Simulations have been conducted with Matlab/Simulink to validate the model and the proposed control schemes.

Permanent magnet generators for renewable energy application have been subject of research during last two decades. Several kinds of rotating electrical generators exist for several applications, including synchronous, induction and DC machines. Doubly Fed Induction Generator is proposed as an alternative solution with respect to the cost of such a system. However, a bigger emphasis in the repo...

Wind energy is one of the alternative energies that can overcome global warming caused by fossil energy. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) has a higher efficiency compared to other types generators. The previous permanent magnet synchronous generator model was only able produce at rotational speed 500 rpm 67.30% and 1500 80.9%, so further research needed get value. This study aims a...

To optimize the output power and reduce the frequency fluctuation in conventional fixed speed Induction Generator (IG) based wind farm, various controlling devices are used. But, this paper proposes that Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) can work both as a power producing device and as a controlling device for IG. In this paper a more practical case has been considered where a wind ...
