Wind Energy Conversion Control for a Double Fed Induction Generator with Modular Multi-Level Matrix Converter

Abstract

Conversion of wind energy is becoming more popular as a viable renewable energy source to meet electricity demand, both economically and environmentally. A DFIG grid-connected wind power production systems with such a modular multilevel power converters has been suggested as an architecture (M3C). Multilevel converters may be a viable alternative to big WECSs because of their great dependability, controllability, and power ratings. Using a Multilevel Inverters Matrix Conversion in a multi-megawatt wind turbine was the subject of this research.This research models and simulates the workings of a DFIG in detail, and uses space vector modulated matrices conversion for rotor current management. The use of a matrix converter to regulate rotor current is shown. Using the RST regulator, wind energy may be captured at its greatest potential and the actual and reactive power of the system can be effectively controlled. Finally, the results from different operating points show that the system has a good ability to govern itself.
