MODELING AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF A PMSG-BASED WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM

Abstract

The global community is currently focused on the utilization of sustainable, clean, and natural energy sources to meet the energy needs of the future and provide a high-quality, pollution-free energy source to a growing number of environmentally conscious individuals. Power is generated by these energy sources through an infinite number of natural processes. A multitude of natural phenomena, including the sun, wind, and waves, serve as source of energy. Wind energy is now acknowledged as a significant and essential renewable energy source as a result of advancements in power electronics. In addition to these benefits, it is crucial to acknowledge that this energy exchange system is environmentally sustainable, less detrimental than alternative options, and accessible. The four primary components of a wind energy conversion system are the generator, wind rotor, connecting device, and control system. A diverse array of converter schemes is employed to connect the generating station to the grid station. PMSG is frequently employed in WECSs due to its numerous advantages, such as dependability and efficacy. A case study evaluates a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) that employs a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). In the event of a malfunction, a wind energy conversion system that employs a permanent magnet synchronous generator will exhibit instability and speed-related issues. A diverse array of control techniques must be implemented in order to optimize the system's dynamic performance and stability. Simulations can be conducted by anyone who has access to MATLAB/SIMULINK.
