[IEEE 2018 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT Asia) - Singapore (2018.5.22-2018.5.25)] 2018 IEEE Innovative Smart Grid Technologies - Asia (ISGT Asia) - Matrix Converter for Grid Connected Wind Energy Conversion Systems

摘要： Among the renewables, wind is a cost effective energy source. This paper describes the use of a matrix converter for permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based grid connected wind turbine systems. A simulation model has been developed using MATLAB/Simulink environment. The system comprises a wind turbine, a PMSG, and a 3-phase matrix converter which acts as an interface between the wind turbine system and the electric power grid. The proposed system can also be used in small scale wind turbine systems that can be employed in environment friendly homes. Simulation results are presented to verify the operation and performance of the proposed system.
