Abstract

This article deals with the control techniques of a low-voltage grid-connected to wind power conversion system based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) using an indirect matrix converter (IMC). Details of the proposed strategies for both the rectifier and inverter stages of the IMC are presented. Thus, a rectifier control strategy based on voltage-oriented control using space vector modulation is proposed. In addition, the control objective of the direct power control (DPC) inverter is the regulation of the active powers of the PMSG according to references established on the basis of the maximum power point tracker (MPPT) of the wind turbine, and also a good tracking of the output reactive power to its reference ensures unit power factor (UPF). A numerical simulation investigation is conducted to investigate the fast-dynamic performance of the proposed control systems during the wind speed variation. The obtained results in simulation are then complemented with tests in laboratory environment, the DPC control system is implemented on a dSpace DS1104 real time board. Selective experimental results are presented using a laboratory prototype of the wind energy conversion system to demonstrate the resulting improvements of the developed system. The results achieved have been clearly responded to the follow-up of references even under fluctuating wind conditions, and show promising relevance of the proposed method.
