Vector control of five-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator based variable-speed wind turbine

This paper Treats modeling and control of Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), based on a five-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG), to ensure an optimum power exchange from the wind turbine, by taking account of the wind speed variations. The system includes a wind turbine, a five-phase Permanent Magnet Generator, two converters, an RL filter, and a DC-link capacitor. The machine side converter is controlled by using the Field Oriented Control, to drive the generator speed to its optimum value. However, The control algorithm of grid side is based on Voltage Oriented Control to inject a pure active power into the grid. The efficiency of considered wind energy system has been studied and simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink environment.
