Modelling and Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator for Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion System Using PID Controller

Abstract: This paper deals with the dynamic model and analysis of a Wind energy conversion system equipped with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG).There are different types of synchronous generators, but the PMSG is chosen in order to obtain its dynamic model. It offers better performance due to higher efficiency and less maintenance since it does not have rotor current and can be used without gearbox. The PMSG, wind speed, wind turbine and drive train have been model led and the mathematical equations that explain their behaviour have been introduced .Simulation results prove the validity of the model. Using pi the speed is tracked and the PMSG output is obtained. Keywords: Wind speed, drive train, wind turbine, PMSG
