A multifunctional current source inverter control for wind turbine grid interfacing

This paper presents a multifunctional PWM current source based wind energy conversion system for wind turbine interfacing. The proposed predictive controller exchanges the power with the grid and the load and achieves active power filtering function by improving the grid power quality due to the distortion caused by non-linear loads. The proposed system is modeled using MATLAB/Simulink and the performance is tested for different operation conditions.
