Fuzzy logic control of wind energy conversion system

This paper proposes a variable speed control scheme of grid-connected wind energy conversion system, WECS, using permanent magnet synchronous generator. The control algorithm tracking the maximum power for wind speeds below rated speed of wind turbines (WTs) and ensure the power will not exceed the rated power for wind speeds higher than the rated speed of wind turbine. The control algorithm employed fuzzy logic controller (FLC) to effectively do this job. The WT is connected to the grid via back-to-back pulse width modulation-voltage source converter (PWM-VSC). Two effective computer simulation software packages (PSIM and SIMULINK) have been used to carry out the simulation effectively where psim contains the power circuit of the WECS and MATLAB/SIMULINK contains the control circuit of the system. The control system has two controllers for generator side and grid side converters. The main function of the generator side controller is to track the maximum power from wind through controlling the rotational ...
