Abstract

This paper presents a control strategy for a stand-alone wind-energy conversion system using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The presented control strategy aims at regulating the load voltage in terms of magnitude and frequency under different operating conditions including wind-speed variation, load variation and the unbalanced conditions. The wind generating-system under study consists of a wind turbine, PMSG, uncontrolled rectifier, DC-DC boost converter and voltage source inverter. The presented control strategy is based firstly upon controlling the duty cycle of the boost converter in order to convert the variable input dc-voltage, due to different operating conditions, to an appropriate constant dc-voltage. Hence, a sinusoidal pulse width modulated (SPWM) inverter is used to regulate the magnitude and frequency of the load voltage via controlling the modulation index. In order to verify the performance of the employed wind generating-system, a sample of simulation results is obtained and analyzed. The presented simulation results show the effectiveness of the employed control strategy to supply the load at constant voltage and frequency under different operating conditions.
