Permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) have a bright prospect in the small wind turbine (WT) applications; PMSGs compared to the conventional electrically excitated generators have many advantages, that’s why they have attracted many and a strong interest of research. In this paper, a comparative PMSG performance study's is presented, these performances is studied as a function of phys...

This paper proposes a novel optimal current given (OCG) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control strategy based on the theory of power feedback and hill climb searching (HCS) for a permanent magnet direct drive wind energy conversion system (WECS). The presented strategy not only has the advantages of not needing the wind speed and wind turbine characteristics of the traditional HCS method, ...

Direct Torque Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors With Non-Sinusoidal Back-EMF. (May 2008) Salih Baris Ozturk, B.S., Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey; M.S., Texas A&M University, College Station Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Hamid A. Toliyat This work presents the direct torque control (DTC) techniques, implemented in fourand six-switch inverter, for brushless dc (B...

This paper presents a speed sensorless direct torque control scheme using space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive based a Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) algorithm and stator resistance estimator. The MRAS is utilized to estimate speed and stator resistance and compensate the effects of parameter variation on stator resistance, which makes fl...

A new maximum power extraction (MPE) controller for variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is proposed. The proposed controller generates optimum speed reference signal for the speed control loop of the vector controlled machine side converter control system without requiring the knowledge of wind speed using only active power and air ...

Direct torque control (DTC) is one of the most prominent techniques used by permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives in industry applications. Nevertheless, presence hysteresis controllers and inaccurate voltage switching table traditional DTC results higher flux ripple. This study proposes an enhanced functioned Surface-mounted PMSM (S-PMSM) drive with mitigation The operation relies o...
