In this study, we deal with a dual active bridge (DAB) converter-based battery charger in a standalone wind power generation system (WPGS) with a small-scale wind turbine. However, the power conversion efficiency under the low power output in the discharging mode is low. In this paper, we propose variable DC-link voltage control in a standalone WPGS with a DAB converter under a light load. The proposed control can compensate for the shortage of generated power and suppress the peak value of the transformer current. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control can decrease the peak value of the transformer current and improve the power conversion efficiency of the DAB converter. An experimental setup was constructed to confirm the basic operation of the variable DC-link voltage control. In addition, a reference DC-link voltage switchover control is proposed to enable a high-efficiency drive under all load ranges. From simulation results, the power loss can be reduced by the switchover control of the reference DC-link voltage.

Wind energy is the worlds fastest growing renewable energy source in recent years, and it has drawn worldwide attention. Due to high efficiency, simple topology and stable operation, variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) direct-drive wind power generation system using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is the development trend and one of the focuses of wind power generation system research. The paper introduces the trend of the development wind power generation and the recently research stage on the wind power generation. Based on the VSCF power fundamental principle, the dissertation analyzes the strategy of wind turbine simulation. In the development of wind power generating system, the wind turbine emulator becomes more and more important because it can provide controllable wind turbine characteristics. Simplified mathematical model based on the CT-λ curve is constructed, the system structure and emulation method are analyzing. Hardware and software are designed and implemented, and a laboratory set-up is building which based on DC motor. Experimental results show that the wind turbine emulator is as good as expected.

In this paper, a new controller of the pitch angle of the wind turbine is designed based on improved cooperative co-evolutionary algorithm(ICCEA). The ICCEA is based on general co-evolution model, and can choose evolutionary algorithm for its subpopulations independently, and regulate the probabilities of individuals production to promote the speed of evolutionary according to the characteristic of control system by introducing distribution function. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed controller can efficiently and steady control the output power of the wind power generation system. Compared with the traditional PID controller, the controller has better control performance.
