Abstract

A novel direct-drive type wind power generation system based on hybrid excitation synchronous machine (HESM) is introduced in this paper. The generator is connected to an uncontrollable rectifier, and a fully controlled voltage-source inverter is used to connect the system to utility grid. An intermediate DC bus exists between the rectifier and inverter. A new control strategy is proposed which achieves the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) with the control of excitation current of HESM and stabilizes the DC link voltage with the control of inverter output current simultaneously. Specially-designed buck circuit is used to control the excitation current of HESM, and grid voltage-oriented vector control strategy is employed to realize the decoupling of the inverter output power. Simulation results and experiment in 3 kW lab prototype show an excellent static and dynamic performance of the proposed system.
