Abstract

This paper deals with a stand-alone wind energy conversion system (SWECS) employing an isolated asynchronous generator (IAG) and feeding single-phase loads. To achieve maximum power point tracking (MPPT) under change in wind speed, a three-leg voltage source converter (VSC) is used at IAG terminals to facilitate variable voltage variable frequency power generation through an IAG. A battery system is used at intermediate DC bus of VSC and a single-phase voltage source inverter (VSI) to enable load leveling under change in consumer loads. A single-phase VSI provides regulated load voltage at constant frequency. The MATLAB R2007b is used to simulate the proposed SWECS using a discrete step solver. The performance of developed voltage and frequency controller is demonstrated as a load leveler, a harmonic eliminator, a maximum power point tracker and a voltage and frequency controller.
