Özet:

 

Wind energy, among all of the renewable energy sources, has  made rapid developments and significant inroads in electrical power  systems.  With the increased use of wind energy conversion systems  (WECSs), several technologies have been developed.  Since WECSs are  more cost competitive, the comparison of different wind generator  systems is the need of the hour.  Permanent magnet generators  employing these technologies have some significant advantages over  conventional generators, such as no need of excitation, low volume and  weight, high precision, and deletion of the gearbox.  A variable-speed  WECS with a permanent magnet generator and a matrix converter is  proposed in this paper.  The traditional power conversion stages  consist of a rectifier followed by an inverter and bulky DC link  capacitor.  It involves 2 stages of power conversion and,  subsequently, the efficiency of the overall WECS is reduced because of  power quality issues mainly based on total harmonic distortion.  The  matrix converter is mainly utilized to control the output voltage and  frequency, and its input current and output voltage are closer to a  sine wave.  The matrix converter is a simple and compact AC-AC  converter.  The proposed WECS with matrix converter is modeled using  PSIM and results were checked with an experimental setup.
