Control of grid‐connected <scp>PMSG</scp> ‐based wind turbine system with back‐to‐back converters topology using a new <scp>PIL</scp> integration method

This paper shows a new manner to exploit the STM32F407 board in order perform processor loop (PIL) testing by reducing significantly co-simulation time. method requires an FT232RL USB-UART converter as external serial communication interface. The main advantage of this device lies setting its baud-rate using aliasing technique. technique provides efficient solution transfer data between embedded and computer at high baud-rate. It allows speeding up PIL and, therefore, makes it more flexible. studied grid connected wind-turbine system is based on permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) followed back-to-back bidirectional converters. side (GSC) ensures DC bus voltage control well unity power factor, while machine (MSC) PMSG speed control. decoupled current presented for GSC. optimum tip ratio (OTSR) algorithm–based maximum point tracking (MPPT) developed MSC. Both parts are initially designed simulated same MATLAB/Simulink environment. Once Simulink model behaves properly meets desired requirements, proposed test then carried out. C code automatically generated from controllers implemented that acts controller, meanwhile part still works host computer. results show efficiency chosen algorithms dynamic behavior full system. They also under behave way once executed board.
