Abstract

This paper presents the control strategy of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) destined to Raz Blanchard´s tidal turbine application. Used PMSG presents a rated power of 2 MW connected to a tidal turbine with a radius of 10 m. The produced energy is injected in electrical grid with line to line RSM voltage of 20kV-50Hz. The used converter for energy management is based on back-to-back configuration. Proposed control strategies are implemented in Matlab/Simulink software for system simulations. The simulations are done using the tidal current magnitude obtained from hydrodynamic model, and obtained results are presented and analyzed.
