Space vector PWM and fractional controller based wind energy conversion systems

Energy harvesting on a global, sustainable and economic scale is one of the major challenges of this century. With emerging markets, industrializations and shortage of existing resources leads to develop more effective power generation and power extraction methods. Wind energy is one of the important renewable source which is rapidly growing. The performance of wind energy conversion system is greatly enhanced with the use of full capacity power converters. The wind energy conversion system consists of a wind turbine, electric generator, power converter and suitable controllers. In this paper, Wind Energy system with full power converter using Space vector PWM inverter topology is implemented. A two level and three level Space vector PWM Inverter topology is selected here. Three level topology is discussed here in detail. The DC side boost converter is operated with PI Controller and Fractional PI controller. A detailed study is done with these controllers and inverter topologies. The simulation results helps to adequately accessing quality of power injected to the grid.
