Simulation Of Power Control Of A Wind Turbine Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator System, Nantao Huang Jul 2013

Simulation Of Power Control Of A Wind Turbine Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator System, Nantao Huang

Master's Theses (2009 -)

This thesis presents a control system for a 2MW direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator wind turbine system with the objectives to capture the optimal power from the wind and ensure a maximum efficiency for this system. Moreover, in order to eliminate the electrical speed sensor mounted on the rotor shaft of the PMSG to reduce the system hardware complexity and improve the reliability of the system, a sliding mode observer based PM rotor position and speed sensorless control algorithm is presented here.

The mathematical models for the wind turbine and the permanent magnet synchronous machine are first given in this …
