Abstract

This paper presents a new wind power generation system utilizing an open-winding permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). A diode rectifier is used for the major portion of power conversion process. In addition, the proposed system controls the generated power by using an auxiliary voltage source inverter located at the neutral of the generator. The VA rating of the auxiliary inverter is only a fraction of the system rated power. Compared to wind power systems utilizing a PWM rectifier or diode rectifier having a DC/DC boost converter, the converter cost can be considerably reduced. In addition, the generator underutilization issue in a conventional diode rectifier fed wind power system can also be solved.
