Optimal Power Control Model of Direct Driven PMSG

AbstractIn order to analyze the performances of direct driven PMSG, an optimal power control model which includes maximum power extraction control model under low wind speed and pitch angle control model under high wind speed is established. The concept of the model is analyzed in a 1.5 MW direct drive variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) WECS with back-to-back IGBT frequency converter. Vector control of the generator side rectifier is realized in the grid voltage vector reference frame. Confirmation of models and control schemes is demonstrated by using the EMTDC/PSCAD environment
