Computer simulations of a converter control malfunction on PMSG-based wind turbines

This paper is on variable-speed wind turbines with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). A three-mass drive train model and two different topologies for the power-electronic converters are considered. The two topologies considered are a matrix and a multilevel converter. A fractional-order control strategy is proposed for the wind turbines. Computer simulation results are presented to illustrate the behavior of the wind turbines during a converter control malfunction. Finally, conclusions are duly drawn.
