| Abstract |
In this paper, a simple control strategy for an optimal extraction of output power from grid connected variable
speed wind energy conversion system(VSWECS) is presented. The system consists of a variable speed wind turbine
coupled to a permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG) through a gear box and two PWM power converters.
Output power from PMSG is first converted into dc, inverted and then it is fed to the grid. Both the power conversions
are performed at unity power factor and the dc link voltage is maintained constant. The maximum power point
tracker(MPPT) extracts optimum power from the wind turbine from cut-in to rated wind velocity by sensing only
dc link power. The complete system has been simulated for various wind velocities. The control algorithm is
implemented on TMS320F243 DSP and the viability of the scheme is confirmed through experimental studies. |
