Solid-state controller for an IAG-based stand-alone wind energy conversion system

This paper deals with an implementation of voltage and frequency controller (VFC) for isolated asynchronous generator-based three-phase autonomous wind energy conversion system. The focus of the proposed work is to provide a feasible solution for rural communities to serve their electricity needs. The least mean square algorithm is used for the extraction of active and reactive power components of the load currents. A three-leg voltage-sourced converter with a battery energy storage system is used as a VFC. The control algorithm is implemented using a digital signal processor. The steady-state and dynamic performances of VFC are demonstrated through test results under static and dynamic loads.
