A robust and reliable grid power interface system for wind turbines using a permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is proposed in this paper, where an integration of a generator-side three-switch buck-type rectifier and a grid-side Z-source inverter is employed as a bridge between the generator and the grid. The modulation strategy for the proposed topology is developed from space-vector modulation...
Self-excited induction generators (SEIGs) have a significant potential for application in small scale wind energy generation systems due to their robustness, lower cost and lower maintenance requirements. This type of generator is often incorporated with variable speed wind turbines where maximum power extraction is possible. In such applications, SEIG is intensively used with full-sized converter...
Soaring oil prices, Climate change and global warming have attracted attention of various researchers to look for different renewable energy options for generating electricity. Wind energy has become one of most sought after options among the different renewable energy resources due to the advent of power electronic based controllers that allow constant frequency voltage to be generated irrespective...
The paper describes the design of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) connected to the grid through back-to-back converters in the rotor circuit. A vector control oriented with the stator voltage is applied for the grid side converter that is responsible for maintaining the DC link voltage constant regardless of the power flow between the rotor and the grid. A field orientation control with the...
The rate at which large variable speed wind farms are being developed had increased rapidly as the demand for green energy has grown. With this increase in distributed energy penetration into power networks, the main focus must be on power quality (Voltage Quality and Supply Reliability). However, new grid codes require wind energy generating systems to ride through grid faults, and at the same time...
This paper proposes a simple technique to get maximum power of wind energy conversion system (WECS) without using sensors for wind and rotor speed of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). It uses the measurements of DC current and DC voltage to obtain maximum power point tracking (MPPT) by controlling the duty cycle of the DC-DC boost converter switch. Moreover, a PI control is employed...

Doubly fed induction generators used in wind energy applications require a source and power converter system to feed variable frequency AC voltage to its rotor. The paper presents a hybrid rotor injection system in which the rotor power can be drawn either from three-phase AC mains or a photo voltaic (PV) panel-battery combination. While drawing power from AC mains, the AC-DC converter used has a...
Nowadays, the most widely used variable speed wind turbine type for units above 1 MW is doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). As the wind power penetration continues to increase, wind turbines are required to remain connected during grid faults to ride-through the faults. This paper gives a control oriented modeling of DFIG wind turbines by using causal ordering graph (COG). The control system consists...
