Abstract

This paper presents modelling and simulation of wind turbine - electrical generation system using Matlab/Simulink software package. This system consists of wind turbine coupled with the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The PMSG is connecting to the load through a three-phase full wave rectifier and a buck converter. Control strategy based on Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is presented to regulate the outputvoltage of the wind generation system irrespective of variations in the wind speed and load. The wind turbine and FLC are implemented in Matlab/Simulink based on its mathematical model of its equivalent equations. Simulation results show that the controllers can regulate the output voltage of the system under varying wind speed and load conditions.
Keywords: Wind Turbine, PMSG, Rectifier, Chopper, and FLC.
