Research about dynamic models for grid-connected wind energy conversion systems is one of the challenges to achieve knowledge for the ongoing change due to the intensification of using wind energy in nowadays. This book chapter is an involvement on those models, but dealing with wind energy conversion systems consisting of wind turbines with permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) and fu...

One of the disadvantages in Connection of wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) to transmission networks is plentiful turbulence of wind speed. Therefore effects of this problem must be controlled. owadays, pitch-controlled WECSs are increasingly used for variable speed and pitch wind turbines. Megawatt class wind turbines generally turn at variable speed in wind farm. Thus turbine operation m...

Wind turbines are increasingly becoming significant components of power systems. To evaluate competing wind energy conversion technologies, a real-time Wind Turbine Emulator, which emulates the dynamic torque produced by an actual turbine has been developed. This is necessary since the real world performance of a wind turbine, subjected to variable wind conditions is more difficult to evaluate ...

The aim of this paper is to propose different methods of control for a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) used in wind energy conversion systems. This paper presents a comparative study on the performance of three control methods for DFIG wind turbine. The study focuses on the regulation of the active and reactive power exchanged between the generator and the grid by the generator inverter u...
