OBJECTIVE
A detailed electromechanical model of a
DFIG-based wind turbine connected to
power grid is studied.
Aim of thesis is to :
Regulate Pitch Angle at variable wind
speed
Maintain DC-link Voltage
Fault analysis of PMSG based Wind
Energy Conversion System

INTRODUCTION
Wind generation has become the most
important alternate energy source and has
experienced increased progress in INDIA
during the past decade.
Wind energy conversion system suffer from
the fact that their real power generation is
closely dependent on the local environmental
conditions.

Contd
DFIG based wind turbine with variable-speed,
variable-pitch control scheme is the most
popular wind power generation.
This machine can be operated either in grid
connected or standalone mode.
In this thesis, DFIG is operated with different
sub-systems in the MATLAB/SIMULINK
environment. Steady state behavior of the
wind turbine system is presented and analyzed.

Wind Power Generation:

Working Principle

VARIABLE SPEED DIRECT DRIVE

WIND ENERGY CONVERSION
SYSTEM
In variable speed systems, the turbines rotor absorbs the
mechanical power fluctuations by changing its speed.
Toallowvariablespeedoperation,themechanicalrotor
speedandtheelectricalfrequencyofthegridmustbedec
oupled.
So the output power curve is smoother which greatly
enhances the quality of power.
However, since variable speed operation produces a
variable frequency voltage, a power electronic converter
must be used to connect to the constant frequency grid

Types of Generators
Induction generators
Synchronous generators
Doubly fed induction generators

Squirrel cage induction

Conventional, directly grid coupled squirrel

cage induction generator.
This wind turbine is normally referred to as a
constant speed or fixed speed wind turbine

Squirrel cage induction

generator

Doubly Fed Induction

Generator
The stator is directly connected to the grid, and the
rotor is connected to the grid through a partial scale
power electronic converter.
High torque peaks in the machine and large stator
peak currents under grid fault conditions depending
on control
Regular maintenance of the brush-slip ring set to
bring power to the rotor
External synchronization circuit required between
the stator and the grid to limit the start-up current
In the case of grid disturbances, ride-through
capability of DFIG is required so that the control
strategies may be very complex.

Doubly Fed Induction

Generator

Synchronous Generator
The permanent magnet synchronous
generator (PMSG) is excited by a
permanent magnet.
The PMSG is connected to the grid
through a full-scale power electronic
converter.
