Abstract :
In this study, a novel sinusoidal PWM switched AC/DC/AC converter interface scheme using real novel tri-loop voltage error tracking fuzzy logic controller (FLC), to stabilize the stand alone Wind Energy Conversion Scheme (WECS) using an induction generator. The proposed novel sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulator (SPWM) switched (AC/DC/AC) converter (diode rectifier and 6-pulse IGBT inverter) interface scheme serves as a combined voltage stabilization regulator and maximum wind energy utilization and enhancement compensator.
