MPPT Control for Current Source Converter Based PMSG Wind Energy Conversion System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Current source converter (CSC) configuration tailored to high-power grid-connected wind energy conversion system (WECS) has been an attractive solution for direct drive of permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs). A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) scheme for a PMSG-based WECS is presented in this paper. On the generator side, a fully controlled current source converter is inserted as a circuit interface to handle a wide range of the variable wind speeds. Rectifier side controller extracts maximum power through closed-loop regulation of generator speed. The available maximum power fed to the grid is adjusted by regulating dc-link output current of CSC according to the variable wind speed. Simulation results obtained from a megawatt PSIM model are provided to verify the proposed concepts.
