Modeling and performance analysis of a small scale direct driven PMSG based wind energy conversion systems

This paper proposes a small scale wind energy conversion system comprising a direct driven PMSG connected to the grid through a power electronic interface. The variable voltage variable frequency output from the wind generator is rectified, boosted and converted in to a fixed voltage fixed frequency output. The boost chopper maintains a constant DC at the inverter terminals. The modulation index of the inverter is adjusted to extract maximum power from the wind. The system components such as wind turbine, PMSG, power electronic interface are modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK .The power flow analysis of the entire system is carried out for various wind velocities and the effect of duty ratio and modulation index is studied and optimum duty ratio for maximum power extraction at different wind speeds is found out and the simulation results are presented Keywords: wind energy conversion systems, permanent magnet synchronous generator, direct drive .
