The objective of this paper is to model and simulate the grid connected wind mill using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Wind energy is a renewable energy and its running cost negligible as wind is freely available. The non -renewable energy are being exhausted and therefore there is a need to switch to renewable sources of energy. For utilizing wind energy, wind turbines are used and different parameters like, shape and size of the blades, wind speed, generator characteristics etc. are considered in calculating the efficiency of the turbine. This paper deals with the performance study of the output from the permanent magnet synchronous generator PMSG coupled with the wind turbine. In this case performance test is conducted with two variable speeds and the reactive power, active power, voltage and current waveforms of the inverter is plotted using SIMULINK.

The aim of the paper is the study of the Hybrid Renewable Energy System, which is consisted of two types of renewable energy systems (wind and sun) and is combined with storage energy system (battery). The paper presents the classification and review of architectures of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems. The considered Hybrid Renewable Energy System was designed as a multi-converter system with gearless Wind Turbine driven Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator and with a Photovoltaic Array and Battery Energy System. The mathematical models of individual elements of a complex Hybrid Renewable Energy System were described. In the control of both systems of Wind Turbine with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator and Photovoltaic array, the algorithms of Maximum Power Point Tracking have been implemented for higher efficiency of energy conversion. The energy storage in the battery has been managed by the control system of a bidirectional DC/DC converter. For the control of the Machine Side Converter and Wind Turbine with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator, the vector control method has been implemented. In the control system of the Grid Side Converter, the advanced method of Direct Power Control has been applied. The energy management strategies for optimal flows of electrical energy between individual systems of considered hybrid renewable energy system are developed and described. In order to determine the operation of proposed control systems, the simulation studies have been performed for different conditions of operation of individual elements of the complex hybrid system. The considered control methods and energy management strategies were tested thorough simulation studies for different wind speed variations, different sun irradiations, and different local load demands. The performed simulations are of practical importance in terms of proper operation requirements, design selection of components and energy management of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems.

In recent years, the investment in the wind energy sector has increased in the context of producing green electricity and saving the environment. The installation of small wind turbines (SWTs) represents an actual strategy for meeting energy needs for off-grid systems and certain specialized applications. SWTs are more expensive per kilowatt installed as compared to large-scale wind turbines. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to produce an economical technology for the wind power market offering low-cost SWTs. The idea consists of considering a simple structure of the wind turbine using direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (DDPMSG). DDPMSGs are the most useful machines in the wind energy field thanks to several advantages, such as elimination of noise and maintenance cost due to suppression of the gearbox and absence of the rotor circuit excitation barriers by the presence of the permanent magnets (PMs). Their major downside is the high cost of active materials, especially the PMs. Thus, the improvement of the generator design is treated as being the main component of the considered chain to assure active materials’ mass and cost reduction. The methodology studied aims to explain the approach of the design integrated by optimization of the considered system. It is based on the elaboration of analytical models to find a feasible structure for the system, taking into account the multi-disciplinary analysis. The relevance of these models is validated by the finite element method using 2D MATLAB-FEMM simulation. The models are integrated to elaborate the optimization problem based on a genetic algorithm to improve the cost of the proposed generator by minimizing the mass of its active constructive materials. As an outcome, an optimal solution is offered for the wind generators market, providing a 16% cost reduction.

Permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) are used widely in wind turbine applications. The performance analysis of PMSG can be enhanced by adopting a number of control mechanisms with the benefit of advanced optimization techniques. Renewable energy is harnessed from continuously replenishing natural processes. Some commonly known are sunlight, water, wind, tides, geothermal heat and various forms of biomass. The focus on renewable energy has over the past few decades intensified greatly. This paper presents modeling and control strategy for the grid connected wind turbine system based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The considered system is based on back-to-back converter topology. The Grid Side Converter (GSC) achieves the DC bus voltage control and unity power factor. The Machine Side Converter (MSC) assures the PMSG speed control. The PMSG is used as a variable speed generator and connected directly to the turbine without gearbox. The pitch angle control is not either considered in this study. Further, Optimal Tip Speed Ratio based MPPT control strategy is used to ensure the most energy efficiency whatever the wind speed variations. A filter (L) is put between the GSC and the grid to reduce current ripple and to improve the injected power quality.During grid faults, a hierarchical coordinated control scheme for the generator-side converter, main grid-side converter and auxiliary grid-side converter, depending on the grid voltage sags, is presented to enhance the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of the direct-driven PMSG WT.

In this article, we process the modeling and control of a global chain of the wind energy conversion system based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator, and the injection of the produced energy into electrical grid. The proposed control technique of the wind energy system is based on a sliding mode control which is designed for a variable speed wind turbine. Sliding mode control is assessed on a wind turbine to supply three phases grid. The aim in this work is to operate over all the wind conversion system at its maximum power point. Initially, three controls have been designed by sliding mode control: the first is for electromagnetic torque of the used permanent magnet synchronous generator, the second is for the machine side converter, and the last is for the grid side converter. Thereafter, another proportional integral controller has been designed for the phase looked loop. Finally, the permanent magnet synchronous generator–based wind turbine and the grid are modeled, and proposed controls are applied, various simulations results by MATLAB/SIMULINK environment are presented and discussed.
