Abstract

The connection of the wind turbine in the grid system leads to concern of power quality measurements like active power, reactive power, variation of voltage, flicker, harmonics, and electrical behavior of switching operation. This paper deals with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion system (WECS) integrated with grid with two back to back connected converters with a common DC link. The machine side converter is used to extract maximum power from the wind. By maintaining the dc link voltage at its reference value, the output ac voltage of the inverter can be kept constant irrespective of change in the speed of wind and load. Modeling of Wind turbine, PMSG, controlling of generator side switch mode converter and Simulation results are presented. Simulation is developed with the help of MATLAB/SIMULINK.
