Modeling and simulation in Matlab/Simulink of wind energy systems with different topologies for the power converters: matrix converter and multilevel converter using pulse modulation by space vector modulation associated with sliding mode and power factor control at the output of the converters are concerned.
Abstract
This paper is concerned with modeling and simulation in Matlab/Simulink of wind energy systems with different topologies for the power converters: matrix converter and multilevel converter. We use pulse modulation by space vector modulation associated with sliding mode for controlling the converters, and we introduce power factor control at the output of the converters. Finally, we present the electric behavior for the power and the current at the input and at the output of the converters.

Participation of Doubly Fed Induction Wind Generators in System Frequency Regulation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a control scheme that allows doubly fed induction wind generators (DFIWG) to participate effectively in system frequency regulation. But, the control strategy defined at the wind generator to supply primary frequency regulation capability exploits a combination of control of the static converters and pitch control, adjusting the rotor speed and the active power according to the deloaded optimum power extraction curve.
