A Review on Popular Control Applications in Wind Energy Conversion System Based on Permanent Magnet Generator PMSG

Abstract

There has always been a high expectation that wind generation systems would capture maximum power and integrate properly with the grid. Utilizing a wind generation system with increased management to meet the growing electricity demand is a clever way of accomplishing this. However, wind power generation systems require a sophisticated, unique, and dependable control mechanism in order to achieve stability and efficiency. To improve the operation of the wind energy conversion method, researchers are continually addressing the obstacles that presently exist. Therefore, it is necessary to know which control can improve the whole system’s performance and ensure its successful integration into the network, despite the variable conductions. This article examines wind turbine control system techniques and controller trends related to the permanent magnet synchronous generator. It presents an overview of the most popular control strategies that have been used to control the PMSG wind power conversion system. Among others, we mention nonlinear sliding mode, direct power, backstepping and predictive currents control. First, a description of each control is presented, followed by a simulation performed in the Matlab/Simulink environment to evaluate the performance of each control in terms of reference tracking, response time, stability and the quality of the signal delivered to the network under variable wind conditions. Finally, to get a clear idea of the effect of each control, this work was concluded with a comparative study of the four controls.

Exploring the Synergy of Renewable Energy in the Circular Economy Framework: A Bibliometric Study

“…Solar technology has a relatively low energy conversion efficiency, which reaches an average of one-quarter at best, due to the process's sensitivity to weather, dust levels, atmospheric humidity, and temperature [186,187]. Wind turbines have only a slightly higher energy efficiency than solar panels, and improvements to the turbine control system and converters are required to increase their energy efficiency [188][189][190]. To fully utilize renewable energy, it is essential to manage storage, transmission, energy consumption, and energy efficiency in a comprehensive manner.…”

A review of wind energy potential in Morocco: New challenges and perspectives

“…Therefore, the writers also examined the various locations and determine which would best utilize wind energy. Based on the wind rose at different sites in the country, such as AL HOCEIMA, ASSILA, DAKHLA, ESSAOUIRA and southwest, particularly LAAYOUNE, wind performance was evaluated at various sites in Morocco (Figure 8) ( Echiheb et al, 2022 ; Majout et al, 2022a ).…”

Wind Energy Potential in Pakistan: A Feasibility Study in Sindh Province

“…A WECS is a complex framework that integrates various aerodynamic, automotive, structural, and computational technologies [26,27]. The WECS framework employs a turbine to convert the wind's kinetic energy into mechanical energy that may be used to power generators or produce electricity [28,29].…”
