In this paper, the reactive power control of a variable speed permanent-magnet synchronous wind generator with a matrix converter at the grid side is improved. A generalized modulation technique based on singular value decomposition of the modulation matrix is used to model different modulation techniques and investigate their corresponding input reactive power capability. Based on this modulat...

Lateral tower vibrations of offshore wind turbines are normally lightly damped, and large amplitude vibrations induced by wind and wave loads in this direction may significantly shorten the fatigue life of the tower. This paper proposes the modeling and control of lateral tower vibrations in offshore wind turbines using active generator torque. To implement the active control algorithm, both th...

Accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. In this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...

Although it is recently introduced, in last few years, generative adversarial network (GAN) has been shown many promising results to generate realistic samples. However, it is hardly able to control generated samples since input variables for a generator are from a random distribution. Some attempts have been made to control generated samples from GAN, but they have shown moderate results. Furt...
