Power generation and active filtering of harmonic currents using a new synchronous generator for wind power applications

In this paper, we propose a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) at fixed speed using a New Doubly Fed Synchronous Generator (DFSG) controlled on the rotor side through converters with two winding fields, to generate active and reactive power to the grid and cancel the harmonics generated by the non linear load (diode rectifier). To verify the validity of the proposed method, a dynamic model of the proposed system has been simulated, for different operating points.
