Abstract

Permanent Magnet Generator (PMSG) has been widely used in variable-speed Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). Fuzzy logic control (FLC) of the generator side converter (rectifier) has the ability to have a good regulation of the DC link voltage to meet the requirements necessary to achieve optimal system operation, regardless of the disturbances caused by the characteristics of the drive train or some changes into the DC load. The main focus of this paper is to present a model for a three phase voltage source space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) rectifier which is connected to a PMSG in a wind turbine system, where a direct voltage control (DVC) using FLC based on voltage orientation strategy is used to control the mentioned rectifier. The control algorithm employs fuzzy logic controller to effectively achieve a smooth control of DC link voltage under wind/load perturbation conditions. Some simulation results, using Matlab/Simulink, are presented to show the effectiveness of the SVPWM rectifier Connected to a PMSG wind energy conversion system with the proposed control strategy.
