Abstract:Abstract-This paper presents a Low Power Wind Energy Conversion System based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator and a High Power Factor rectifier. To achieve a high power factor at the generator side, it is proposed a power processing scheme based on a diode rectifier and a boost DC-DC converter working in discontinuous conduction mode. The proposed generator control structure is based on three cascaded control loops that regulate the generator current, the turbine speed and the amount of power that i… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
