Real Time Implementation of Grid Connected Wind Energy Systems: Predictive Current Controller

This work, suggests a new control strategy using Finite-Control-Set Model-Predictive-Control (FCS-MPC) for the control of a wind turbine system (WTS) based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The considered controller is separated on two parts: FCS-MPC-based on the current control loop for the single switch mode rectifier to optimally release the maximum wind power, and FCS-MPC-based on the voltage control loop for the voltage source inverter to enhance the THD of grid currents. A wind energy system prototyping platform was developed and accomplished in the laboratory, and the experimental results are provided to verify the performances of the considered FCS-MPC strategies.
