Transient Stability Enhancement using Variable Speed Wind Turbine with Direct Drive Synchronous Generators

Sensorless Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators in Variable-Speed Wind Turbine Systems

This paper proposes a sensorless control strategy for permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) in variablespeed wind turbine systems (WTSs). The proposed scheme uses an extended Kalman filter (EKF) for estimation of rotor speed and position. For EKF design, the nonlinear state space model of the PMSG is derived. Estimation and control performance of the proposed sensorless control method...

Modeling and Control Strategy for Variable Speed Wind Turbine Using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator

This paper proposes an optimized model and control strategy for variable speed wind turbine using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Models and equations that describe different components of the wind energy conversion system (WECS) are addressed and their implementations into PSCAD/EMTDC are described. There are different types of synchronous generators, but the PMSG is chosen. It ...

Optimization of Variable Speed Wind Turbine Using Pi Controller

The paper presents an optimum design procedure for the controller used in the frequency converter of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) driven doubly fed asynchronous generator (DFAG) by using Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. The cascaded control is frequently used in the control of the frequency converter using the proportional PI controllers. The setting of the parameters of the PI co...
