Design of a wind power generation system using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine along with a boost regulator

This paper presents a wind power generation system using a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM). The whole system consists of a wind turbine, permanent magnet synchronous machine, three phase diode rectifier, boost converter, a voltage source inverter and an LCL filter. The ac output from the PMSM is sent to the diode rectifier for conversion to DC and a boost converter is used for stabilization of the DC output voltage. The DC output voltage is then converted into a single phase ac output with the voltage source inverter, in which the gating signals are provided by an advanced modulation technique called Harmonic Injection Modulation (HIM). Finally, the LCL filter is employed for the elimination of output harmonics. The system setup and the simulation results were obtained using the PSIM simulation software.
