Modeling and Control of A Grid Connected Wind Turbine Power System Under Variable Wind Speeds Using Doubly-Fed Induction MachineBy Goutham Gonti, Arbin Ebrahim, Gregory Murphy
Abstract: This paper focuses on the development of wind turbine system and extracting maximum power for variable speed constant frequency grid connected wind turbine power system with doubly fed induction generator. A voltage oriented control scheme is used for the control of both rotor side and grid side circuit. Pitch control mechanism is implemented for the power limitation at a wind speed greater than the rated speed. The DFIM stator side …

Maximum Power Point Tracking of a Variable Speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Based Wind Energy Conversion SystemBy michael opare atakora, Arbin Ebrahim, Gregory Murphy
Abstract: Wind turbines produce maximum power at the optimal tip-speed ratio. Fixed speed wind turbines are inefficient because the turbine blades rotate at a specific mechanical speed irrespective of the prevailing wind speed. The system is therefore, not able to extract the maximum possible amount of power. In this work, a maximum power point tracking scheme for a variable-speed permanent magnet synchronous generator based wind energy conversion system is implemented in …

Control of a Grid-Connected Variable Speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Based Wind Power Generation SystemBy michael opare atakora, Arbin Ebrahim, Gregory Murphy
Abstract: Variable speed wind turbines are more efficient compared to their fixed speed counterparts since maximum power is extracted over a wide range of wind speeds. In this work a grid-connected wind power generation system is modeled and implemented in Matlab/Simulink using a permanent magnet synchronous generator. A back to back space vector pulse width modulated voltage source converter converts the variable frequency generator currents and voltages into DC, then back …
