Abstract :
This paper deals with the study of the behavior of stand alone wind energy converters (WEC) based on permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). First, the WEC chain is described and the model of each component of the conversion set is studied. At this stage, a special attention is given to incorporate the saturation effect in the PMSG model. Then, the obtained model is used to analyze the dynamic behavior of this WEC face to typical wind site profile and a variable electrical load. The obtained results help the authors to analyze the WEC performances as well as the impact of the generator saturation on the power conversion
