Abstract

The wind turbine generator considered in this work employs a direct-driven (Without gearbox) PMSG, which is directly coupled to the wind turbine and connected to the electric grid through the power conditioning system (PCS). The stator windings of the PMSG are directly connected to the PCS composed of a full-scale power converter built using a back-to-back AC/DC/AC power converter topology which includes a three-phase rectifier bridge (AC/DC conversion), a DC/DC converter and a grid-side converter with an intermediate DC link (DC/AC conversion). A maximum power point tracking algorithm is used to track the maximum power output to increase the power conversion efficiency in the system. Thus the generator produces the maximum power continuously.
