Robustness Investigation of FOC of PMSG Based Variable-Speed Wind Turbine Connected on Grid

Wind energy has emerged as an increasingly viable renewable energy source, driven by rising fossil fuel costs, energy security concerns, and environmental considerations. In 2022, wind energy production grew by 9% compared to 2021, maintaining an annual rate exceeding 12% since 2012. This study focuses on the application of Field Oriented Control (FOC), a prevalent control strategy in wind power generation systems, to a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) in a variable speed wind turbine configuration. The research methodology involved implementing FOC and conducting robustness analyses through PMSG parameter variations. The primary objectives were to maximize wind energy capture efficiency while ensuring sustained control performance. MATLAB/Simulink was employed to simulate and evaluate the various components of the wind turbine system (WTS), facilitating comprehensive analysis of the results.
