Comparative Study of PMSG Controllers for Variable Wind Turbine Power Optimization

With a large increase in wind power generation, the direct driven Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator is the most promising technology for variable speed operation and it also fulfills the grid requirements with high efficiency. This paper studies and compares conventional based on PI controller and proposed control technique for a direct driven PMSG wind turbine. The generator model is established in the Park synchronous rotating d-q reference frame. To achieve maximum power capture, the aeroturbine is controlled through Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) while the PMSG control is treated through field orientation where the two currents control loops are regulated. A proposed direct-current based d-q vector control design is designed by the integration of the Internal Model Controller. Then an optimal control is developed for integrated control of PMSG power optimization and Voltage Source Converter control. The design system was done using SimWindFarm Matlab/Simulink toolbox to evaluate the performance of conventional and proposed technique control of PMSG wind turbine. The analysis, simulation results prove the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy.
