A voltage control strategy of the converter inverter-stage is proposed for the variable speed direct drive wind power system which consists with the two stage matrix converter (TSMC) and the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). In this control strategy, the inverter-stage voltage is controlled by the adjusted of inverter-stage modulation ratio M. For two cases, which is strong wind speed and weak wind speed, the ways that is decrease M and increase M are used and obtain the wide wind speed capture range. The resulted of simulation and experiment show that this way can make the voltage stabled. The performance of the converter implement this control strategy is still as same as the dual PWM converter and the wind power system preserve the feature of the wide wind speed capture range. So this way is effective and feasible to some extent.

The DC bus voltage is key variable for the operation of converter system in a wind power system. When grid voltage drops, a control of the DC bus voltage is needed to keep the smoothness of DC bus voltage for avoiding generator cutting off grid. A combined control method based on the grid voltage information feedforward with a crowbar circuit is proposed for a direct-drive wind power system in the paper. The unbalanced energy of the DC bus can be unleashed by the crowbar circuit during the dropping of grid voltage. At the same time, the output power of motor-side converter can be controlled to decrease according to the grid-side voltage information, and the mechanical speed of wind turbine and generator can be suppressed by the pitch angle regulation when the output power reduces. Thus, the DC-bus voltage can keep smooth. Results based on Matlab/Simulink simulation shows that this method not only improves dynamic response performance of DC bus voltages control, but also reduces the action time of crowbar circuit. It is benefit to the ability of the wind power system riding through the grid fault.

With the scale of wind farm continuously increasing, when grid fault, the influences of the wind turbines connected to the grid on the stability of the power grid can never be ignored. Therefore, there are higher standards of the wind turbines’ abilities of fault ride-through (FRT) and producing reactive power. This paper studies the direct-drive wind power system, and the main point is the fault ride-through (FRT) of the permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) with Chopper. By establishing the dynamic model of PMSG under the environment of DigSILENT, this paper simulates the fault ride-through (FRT) of the direct-drive wind power system connecting into power grid. During the research, we focus on the stability of voltage about the Chopper to the DC bus under faults. What’s more, in this paper, we analysis the data about how the Chopper help the DC bus to improve its stability. The simulation results show that: when there is a fault on the point of common coupling, the permanent magnetic synchronous generator has the capability of fault ride-through (FRT). Especially when there is a voltage dip on the grid side, the permanent magnetic synchronous generator could produce reactive power for power grid, effectively preventing the system voltage from declining seriously, so as to improve the system stability under faults.

In order to improve the performance of the converter for restrain the machine-side PWM rectifier load disturbance impact on the output DC voltage in direct-drive wind power system. A hybrid control strategy based on ADRC and the EL model was presented, using ESO to observe and compensate the load disturbances, achieving voltage outer control by ADRC method and comparing with PI control. However, as to grid-side PWM inverter, energy shaping method which based on PCHD model and the IDA-PBC control algorithm is adopted to design passivity-based controller, which is able to make the energy function have the minimum value when inverter is at the desired point, thus improving the stability and the load disturbance-rejection ability for the inverter. Simulation results show that the machine-side PWM rectifier can make the currents and voltages of AC side achieve synchronous, DC voltage can fast-track desired values; grid-side PWM inverter can achieve unity power factor and make the AC current sinusoidal.
