DC Voltage Output Control of a Hybrid Synchronous Generator-based Wind Turbine

Abstract

This article discusses regulating a Wind Turbine (WT) that uses a Hybrid Excitation Synchronous Generator (HESG) to power an isolated load via a diode bridge rectifier. The HESG acts as a DC generator and supplies power to the DC load. The primary objective of the suggested control strategy is to maintain a steady DC voltage output, even when there are changes in rotor speed and/or load. The entire system is simulated and modelled in Matlab/Simulink, and the simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method in delivering power to an isolated location.
