SIMULATION OF GRID INTEGRATED WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM

One of the primary needs for socio-economic development in any nation in the world is the reliable electricity supply system. Renewable energy technologies offers clean, abundant energy gathered from self-renewing resources such as the sun, wind etc. As the power demand increases, power failure also increases. So, renewable energy sources can be used to provide constant loads. Wind energy is expected to be one of the most prominent sources of electrical energy in years to come. In this paper wind energy conversion system is integrated with the grid. Wind turbines are packaged systems that include a rotor, a generator, turbine blades, a drive and coupling blades. This process reveals a unique step in electricity generation and availability from natural resources without hampering the ecological balance. The goal of this paper to build a complete model of integrated wind energy conversion system with grid in MATLAB/Simulink. https://journalnx.com/journal-article/2015010
