Abstract
This study focused on efficiency improving, the power flow management and control problem of the standalone wind energy conversion system. Specifically, the system under study consists of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSM) driving by wind turbine, Vienna rectifier, a Li-ion battery and a DC load. Battery life is vulnerable to fluctuations due to the intermittent nature of the wind, as well as to the demand for energy charging, which reduce considerably battery state of health (SOH) and consequently charging capacity. To overcome these shortcomings, a nonlinear battery charge controller is used to regulate the current supplied to the battery and to the load, and thus guarantee best charging performances. Based on the wind power, the load demand and the battery state of charge (SOC), three operating modes are considered. Specifically, MPPT mode, Constant Current (CC) charging mode and Constant Voltage (CV) charging mode. We also design a new energy management method to protect the energy storage system and increase its lifetime. This algorithm ensure a smooth switching between three controllers designed to provide the three operating modes. The high performances and the efficiency of the proposed controller and management algorithm are highlighted using several MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations.
