This paper describes the real time implementation and control of a wind energy conversion chain emulator based on a synchronous generator (SG) using a full-scale power converter configuration. The proposed structure consists of the mechanical coupling of two 1.5 kW machines, a DC motor which emulates the static-dynamic behaviors of a three-blade wind turbine with a horizontal axis including an ideal gearbox, and a synchronous generator that ensures the electromechanical conversion and manages the different operating modes. The aim of the first part in this work is the design and the implementation of the control of the grid side converter in order to control the flow of the produced/consumed active and reactive power (PGSC / QGSC) in both directions between the generator and the grid. An improved experimental grid voltage vector-orientation control algorithm (VOC) is investigated and applied to the grid inverter to control the GSC powers independently and instantly. The control algorithms are implanted in C, using dSPACE DS1104 control board to drive the 6-IGBT’s inverter. The experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme of the GSC.

In recent years, the complexities of wind turbine control are raised while implementing grid codes in voltage sag conditions. In fact, wind turbines should stay connected to the grid and inject reactive power according to the new grid codes. Accordingly, this paper presents a new control algorithm based on super-twisting sliding mode for a gearless wind turbine by a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The PMSG is connected to the grid via the back-to-back converter. In the proposed method, the machine side converter regulates the DC-link voltage. This strategy improves low-voltage ride through (LVRT) capability. In addition, the grid side inverter provides the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control. It should be noted that the super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) control is implemented to effectively deal with nonlinear relationship between DC-link voltage and the input control signal. The main features of the designed controller are being chattering-free and its robustness against external disturbances such as grid fault conditions. Simulations are performed on the MATLAB/Simulink platform. This controller is compared with Proportional-Integral (PI) and the first-order sliding mode (FOSM) controllers to illustrate the DC-link voltage regulation capability in the normal and grid fault conditions. Then, to show the MPPT implementation of the proposed controller, wind speed is changed with time. The simulation results show designed STSM controller better performance and robustness under different conditions.

The modeling and control of a wind energy conversion system based on the Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG is the discussed theme in this paper. The purpose of this system was to control active and reactive power converted; this control is ensured thanks to the control of the two converters. The proposed control strategies are controlled by PI regulators and the sliding mode technique. In the present work a comparison of the robustness of the 2 controls of the grid side converter (GSC) during a voltage dip is shown. The simulation is carried out using the Matlab/Simulink software with a 300 kW generator.

PurposeThis paper aims to provide a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine, which feeds electric power (AC) to the power grid. The converter, located on the machine side, is used to produce the full amount of wind power. Research on wind energy conversion system (WECS) is carried out in this study using a direct wind turbine in MATLAB with constant and variable speeds.Design/methodology/approachThis paper is about WECS using PMSG and is connected to a grid of two serial converters with common DC connections.FindingsThis paper aims to provide the value of DC connection voltage at its base, regardless of the wind speed alterations, the inverter's output ac voltage can be kept constant.Originality/valueThis paper aims to provide a Hill Climb Search maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is an effective control system for extracting maximum energy, also called voltage control, pitch control, phase-locked loop (PLL) controls, from a wind turbine. Using the Fuzzy controller, the grid side converter is controlled.


A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) applied to wind power generation driven by wind turbine is under study for low voltage ride-through application during system unbalance. Use of DFIG in wind turbine is widely spreading due to its control over DC voltage and active and reactive power. Conventional dq axis current control using voltage source converters for both the grid side and the rotor side of the DFIG are analyzed and simulated. An improved control and operation of DFIG system under unbalanced grid voltage conditions by coordinating the control of both the rotor side converter (RSC) and the grid side converter (GSC) is done in this thesis. Simulation and analysis of DFIG system with wind turbine using Fuzzy logic controller for RSC and GSC under unbalanced condition is presented in the positive synchronous reference frame. The common DC-link voltage is controlled by grid side converter and control of DFIG’s stator output active and reactive power is controlled by rotor side converter. The steady-state operation of the DFIG and its dynamic response to voltage sag resulting from a remote fault on the 120-kV system is shown in this thesis using controllers. Modeling of DFIG system under Fuzzy logic controller to control voltage and active-reactive powers is done using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) are used widely in wind turbine applications. The performance analysis of PMSG can be enhanced by adopting a number of control mechanisms with the benefit of advanced optimization techniques. Renewable energy is harnessed from continuously replenishing natural processes. Some commonly known are sunlight, water, wind, tides, geothermal heat and various forms of biomass. The focus on renewable energy has over the past few decades intensified greatly. This paper presents modeling and control strategy for the grid connected wind turbine system based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The considered system is based on back-to-back converter topology. The Grid Side Converter (GSC) achieves the DC bus voltage control and unity power factor. The Machine Side Converter (MSC) assures the PMSG speed control. The PMSG is used as a variable speed generator and connected directly to the turbine without gearbox. The pitch angle control is not either considered in this study. Further, Optimal Tip Speed Ratio based MPPT control strategy is used to ensure the most energy efficiency whatever the wind speed variations. A filter (L) is put between the GSC and the grid to reduce current ripple and to improve the injected power quality.During grid faults, a hierarchical coordinated control scheme for the generator-side converter, main grid-side converter and auxiliary grid-side converter, depending on the grid voltage sags, is presented to enhance the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of the direct-driven PMSG WT.

This work aims to analyze and validate through mathematical modeling and experimental results, in a three-phase three-wire electrical system, the technical viability of a static power converter with a two-level topology with only two controlled branches (2L2B), operating as a grid-side converter (GSC) in a wind turbine generator based on a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). With this reduced-switches topology, the GSC is able to regulate the DC-link voltage level from the generator back-to-back converter and provide ancillary services of harmonic filtering and reactive power compensation from linear/nonlinear loads connected to the point of common coupling. An 8-kVA experimental prototype was implemented in the laboratory to validate the proposal. The prototype control system was realized using the dSPACE DS1103 PPC Controller Board platform programmed via MATLAB/Simulink. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by comparing the results obtained with the 2L2B topology to the ones with the usual two-level three-branch topology.
