Abstract
This paper presents a novel control strategy employing the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and direct power control strategy (DPC) for permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion system (WECS). The WECS adopts medium voltage source converter with AC-DC-AC configuration. The 10 MW wind farm is implemented in this paper which consists of 2 MW PMSG's wind systems. The PMSG's of the wind farm is connected to the DC collection grid through a DC/DC rectifier topology. The DC collection system is connected to the AC grid using single DC/AC inverter thus providing simple control technique which controls the number of PMSG generators. The output power fluctuations are compensated using direct torque control based maximum power point controller and direct power control. The DC link voltage and the active power injected to AC grid is controlled using grid side controller and the maximum power is extracted using the machine side controller of the wind turbine. Pitch angle control strategy is also used in order to reduce the turbine speed during high wind speed condition. The proposed controller provides aneffective solution for grid integration and constant power flow from the generator system to thegrid system. Simulation results are presented and analyzed the performance of the control strategies implemented in the system. © 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
