This paper describes the modeling and simulation of a wind energy conversion system in Matlab/Simulink environment. The wind energy conversion system consists of a wind turbine, gear box, and induction generator. The dynamic model of a 30 kW induction generator is used for performance testing of the proposed system. Simulink models of the individual components of wind energy conversion are form...

In this paper, a wind turbine simulator is developed using PSCAD. The wind turbine static characteristics are modeled using the relation among the turbine power, the wind speed, and the blade pitch angle. Also, the dynamic characteristics of the wind turbine are modeled through a two-mass oscillating system, representing the turbine and the generator connected by elastic shaft. The system consi...

ABSTRACT: The wind turbine generator is operated such that the rotor speed varies according to wind speed to adjust the duty cycle of power converter and maximizes wind energy conversion system efficiency. The rotating speed of permanent-magnet generator should be adjusted in the real time to capture maximum wind power. This paper proposes a quite simple maximum power point tracking control sch...

Different types of permanent magnet generators for wind power application have been subject of research during last two decades. In this thesis different topologies of electrical generators have been investigated for small scale vertical axis wind turbine application. A two stage induction generator is proposed as a alternative solution with respect to the cost of such a system. However, a bigg...

This paper presents a comprehensive conversion loss analysis of the Power Conditioning System (PCS) for a grid connected Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) and a Wound Rotor Induction Generator (WRIG) based small wind turbine system. The main focus of the loss analysis is the conduction and switching losses in the semiconductor devices and PCS. The analysis reveals that the WRIG based system with...

In order to broaden the limited utilization range of wind power and improve the charging and discharging control performance of the storage battery in traditional small wind power generation systems, a wind power system based on a vertical-axis off-grid induction generator is proposed in this paper. The induction generator not only can run in a wide wind speed range but can also assist the vert...

A dynamic model of a variable speed stand alone wind generation unit is developed. The steady state as well as the dynamic performance of the wind system is explored. The necessary conditions for steady operation have been established. The performance of the system under variable wind gust and other disturbance conditions has been studied. It has been observed that a stand alone generator is ve...

Modern wind turbines are designed in order to work in variable speed operations. To perform this task, wind turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators, like the double feed induction generator. One of the main advantage of adjustable speed generators is improving the system efficiency compared to fixed speed generators, because turbine speed can be adjusted as a function of wind spe...

This paper aims to apply a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm into a wind turbine with variable speed generator model, jointly the wind energy conversion system (WECS). There are several types of wind turbine in different configurations and their efficiencies in energy extraction are different depending on their aerodynamic designs. In general, their power efficiencies are bounded by...
