Modeling of a wind energy conversion system for dynamic analysis using alternative transients program

Abstract

In recent decades, wind energy has gained great prominence in various parts of the world. This fact shows the need to develop advanced studies in order to evaluate the dynamic behavior of modern wind turbines. Within this context, this work presents a mathematical and computer modeling in ABC reference frame of a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The functionality of the constructed model is verified through computer simulations of wind turbulences and load changes using the free software Alternative Transients Program (ATP), especially with its "MODELS" interface.
