Boost Converter implementation for Wind Generation System based on a variable speed PMSG

Abstract

this paper presents an implementation of a Wind Energy Conversion System based on a Permanent Magnet synchronous Generator. The turbine is emulated by a Permanent Magnet Direct Current Motor. The electricity produced is converted to continuous wave form through a Boost Converter. The control maintaining constant the voltage at the terminal, load is based on classical PI controller. The hardware setup is modeled and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Experimental rig using Permanent Magnet Direct Current Motor –Permanent Magnet synchronous Generator is used for validation.
