Abstract: This paper discusses the problem of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of Wind Turbine based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) connected to power grid trough complete static converter. To achieve this, we propose a control scheme of synchronous generator, consisting of a DC/AC device followed by a second DC/AC device. The idea behind MPPT principle is turbine speed variation depending on wind speed in case of generator indirect connection to power grid. Simulations on Matlab-Simulink can be found at the end of the paper, confirming a good consistency with study objectives of control scheme, selection of setting parameters and complete converter architecture.
Keywords: PMSG, wind turbine, complete converter, MPPT, pole placement
