The Current Source Converter (CSC) technology is well suited for high power wind energy applications. Because it drives generally features like simple converter structure, smooth power injection at the grid side and excellent short circuit protection. The main drawback lays its dynamic torque response. An improved Direct Torque Control (DTC) method is proposed in this paper to overcome this dra...

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...

This paper presents a standalone hybrid power generation system based on low speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) using a variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with battery storage and diesel generator (DG). Different types of power management strategies are presents for minimal use of DG. For each PMS, mathematical model is developed based on the power balance (bet...

This paper presents a simulation and mathematical model of stand-alone solar-wind-diesel based (HES). A power management system is designed for multiple energy resources in a stand-alone hybrid energy system. Both Solar photovoltaic and wind energy conversion system consists maximum power point tracking (MPPT), voltage regulatio basic power electronic interfaces. An additional diesel generator ...

Among all the renewable resources, wind and solar are the most popular resources due to its ease of availability and its ease conversion into electricity. Each renewable resource uses DC/DC boost converter separately with MPPT control to generate power. To increase the efficiency of photovoltaic (PV) system and wind energy system, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technology is employed. ...
