Wind Energy Conversion System

The document describes a wind energy conversion system that uses a circuit to minimize voltage and frequency variations from a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) from ±20% to ±1% before transmitting the energy to the electric grid. The circuit consists of a rectifier to convert the alternating current to direct current, a boost converter to further minimize variations, and an inverter to convert it back to alternating current matching the grid's voltage and frequency. Test results graphs show the reduction in variations between the input and output voltages.

Wind Energy Conversion

System

Objective:-
As we know that the wind speed changes time and again so the variations may
occur. The output voltage and the frequency of DFIG changes about -+20%. Now we have to
transmit this energy to the grid, transferring this energy at this variance is definitely a no no, so
we will have to design a converter so that this variance may be minimized to a level which is
acceptable.

Circuit Diagram:-
The circuit diagram is attached below…..
Specs of the circuit:-
Line to Line RMS Voltage: 11,000V

Frequency: 50Hz

Variations: +-20%

Grid Voltage: 11,000V

Grid Frequency: 50Hz

Variance after applying conversion: +-1%

Working of circuit:-
In our circuit, we have basically made a converter which will be used in order
to eliminate the rapid variances (+-20%) due to the changes in the wind. Now after the implementation
of the converter, the variances will be reduced to +-1%. This converter of ours is made of three parts
one is rectifier, the other is boost and the third one is inverter. First we convert the input from AC to DC
and then in the boost phase we minimize the variations and then at the end we convert it back from DC
to AC.

Results:-
VDC1 vs VDC2
Vout vs Vfiltered

Vin vs Vout
