Sustainability of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Wind Turbine Control Strategy in On-Grid Operating Modes

Abstract

Today, there are a variety of technologies for wind-generating systems, characterized by component complexity and control. Controllers are essential for the sustainability of the output voltage and the optimal speed of the generator. To overcome the problems, the system must use controllers that determine the controllers’ ability relative to each other and ultimately the controller that behaves better. This paper investigates the simulation of a PMSG wind turbine with PI, PID, neutral-point-clamped (NPC) and fuzzy controllers to study performance at different wind speeds as input. The wind energy is converted by the wind turbine and given to the PMSG generator. The PMSG output power is transferred to the power network; in this case, we have modeled the power network with a three-phase load. In order to confirm the performance of the proposed method, a PMSG wind turbine is simulated using MATLAB R2017. The simulation results show that the controllers can adjust the DC link voltage, the active power produced by the wind system.
