ABSTRACT:
This paper analyzes the operation of small wind turbine system with variable speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and a Lead Acid Battery (LAB) for residential applications, during wind speed variation. The main purpose is to supply 230 V/50 Hz domestic appliances through a single-phase inverter. The required power for the connected loads can be effectively delivered and supplied by the proposed wind turbine and energy storage systems with an appropriate control method. The models of the PMSG, boost converter with a control method for obtaining maximum power characteristic of wind turbine (MPPT), voltage source inverter (VSI) and LAB model with battery state of charge (SOC) control method, are presented.

Voltage and Frequency Control of a Stand-alone Wind-Energy Conversion System Based on PMSG



 ABSTRACT:
This paper presents a control strategy for a standalone wind-energy conversion system using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The presented control strategy aims at regulating the load voltage in terms of magnitude and frequency under different operating conditions including wind speed variation, load variation and the unbalanced conditions. The wind generating-system under study consists of a wind turbine, PMSG, uncontrolled rectifier, DC-DC boost converter and voltage source inverter. The presented control strategy is based firstly upon controlling the duty cycle of the boost converter in order to convert the variable input dc-voltage, due to different operating conditions, to an appropriate constant dc voltage. Hence, a sinusoidal pulse width modulated (SPWM) inverter is used to regulate the magnitude and frequency of the load voltage via controlling the modulation index. In order to verify the performance of the employed wind generating-system, a sample of simulation results is obtained and analyzed. The presented simulation results show the effectiveness of the employed control strategy to supply the load at constant voltage and frequency under different operating conditions.

CONCLUSION:
This paper has presented a control strategy of a stand-alone wind-driven Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) in order to regulate the magnitude and frequency of the load voltage under different operating conditions. In order to ensure the validity of the presented control strategy, the performance characteristics of the wind-generating system has been studied and discussed under three different operating conditions; wind-speed variation, load variation and unbalance operating condition. The presented simulation results have verified the effectiveness of the control strategy to maintain the load voltage and frequency at a constant level under different operating conditions. This has been achieved by controlling the duty cycle of the employed DC-DC boost converter in order to maintain the DC-link voltage constant at a predetermined value. In addition, the magnitude and frequency of the load voltage has been maintained constant via controlling the modulation index of the load-side SPWM inverter. A constant modulation index has been used in the case of balanced loading conditions. However, different modulation index for each phase has been used in case of unbalanced loading conditions.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator-Based Standalone Wind Energy Supply System



ABSTRACT:
In this paper, a novel algorithm, based on dc link voltage, is proposed for effective energy management of a standalone permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based variable speed wind energy conversion system consisting of battery, fuel cell, and dump load (i.e., electrolyzer). Moreover, by maintaining the dc link voltage at its reference value, the output ac voltage of the inverter can be kept constant irrespective of variations in the wind speed and load. An effective control technique for the inverter, based on the pulse width modulation (PWM) scheme, has been developed to make the line voltages at the point of common coupling (PCC) balanced when the load is unbalanced. Similarly, a proper control of battery current through dc–dc converter has been carried out to reduce the electrical torque pulsation of the PMSG under an unbalanced load scenario. Based on extensive simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK, it has been established that the performance of the controllers both in transient as well as in steady state is quite satisfactory and it can also maintain maximum power point tracking.

CONCLUSION:
Control strategies to regulate voltage of a standalone variable speed wind turbine with a PMSG, battery, fuel cell, and electrolyzer (acts as dump load) are presented in this paper. By maintaining dc link voltage at its reference value and controlling modulation indices of the PWM inverter, the voltage of inverter output is maintained constant at their rated values. From the simulation results, it is seen that the controller can maintain the load voltage quite well in spite of variations in wind speed and load. An algorithm is developed to achieve intelligent energy management among the wind generator, battery, fuel cell, and electrolyzer. The effect of unbalanced load on the generator is analyzed and the dc–dc converter control scheme is proposed to reduce its effect on the electrical torque of the generator. The dc–dc converter controller not only helps in maintaining the dc voltage constant but also acts as a dc-side active filter and reduces the oscillations in the generator torque which occur due to unbalanced Load. PWM inverter control is incorporated to make the line voltage at PCC balanced under an unbalanced load scenario. Inverter control also helps in reducing PCC voltage excursion arising due to slow dynamics of aqua elctrolyzer when power goes to it. The total harmonic distortion (THD) in voltages at PCC is about 5% which depicts the good quality of voltage generated at the customer end. The simulation results demonstrate that the performance of the controllers is satisfactory under steady state as well as dynamic conditions and under balanced as well as unbalanced load conditions.
