Discrete Wavelet Transforms -A Compendium of New Approaches and Recent Applications 164 necessary in [36][37][38]. In addition, for the research of wind energy conversion systems, the developments of wind turbine emulators are also necessary in [43,44]. However, the fuzzy logic controller, the sliding-mode controller, and the PI controller adopted in [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48] may not guarantee the robustness when parameter variations or external disturbance occurred in the control system in practical applications due to the lack of online learning ability.This Chapter is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the variable speed wind generation system description. In this section the analysis of the wind turbine is carried out and the maximum power point tracking analysis is also introduced. In Section 3, the dynamic model of the self-excited induction generator is introduced to analyze all its characteristics. Section 4 provides the indirect field-orientation control (IFOC) dynamics for the IG (torque, slip angular frequency and voltage commands) which are derived from the dynamic model of SEIG. The d-q axes current control according to the IG rotor speed gives the maximum mechanical power from the wind turbine and the losses of the IG are minimized. In Section 5, the dynamic equations of the CRPWM converter in the synchronous reference frame are carried out based on the IFOC dynamics of the IG. The dynamic equations of the grid-side CRPWM voltage source inverter connected to the grid are given in Section 6. By using vector control technique, the currents of the CRPWM inverter are controlled with very high bandwidth. The vector control approach is used, with a reference frame oriented along the grid voltage vector position. This allows independent control of the active and reactive power. Section 7 considers the design procedures for the PID voltage controller of the IG-side CRPWM voltage source converter, the PID active power and reactive power controllers for the grid-side CRPWM inverter. In Section 8, an intelligent maximization hybrid control system based on the WNN with IPSO is proposed in order to control the DC-link voltage of the IG-side CRPWM voltage source converter, active power and reactive power of the grid-side CRPWM voltage source inverter effectively based on the MPPT from the wind driven SEIG system. Finally, to testify the design of the proposed hybrid control system and MPPT control scheme, the variable speed wind generation system is simulated in Section 9. The dynamic performance of the system has been studied under different wind velocities. The simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid control for variable speed wind generation system.
Variable Speed Wind Generation System DescriptionThe proposed wind generation system is shown in Figure 1. The wind turbine is coupled to the shaft of a SEIG. The output of the SEIG is connected to a double-sided CRPWM voltage source converter connected to a utility grid.
