Wind Energy Power System Simulation for a Remote Area Power Supply
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
This work focuses on the designing and analysis of a wind energy power system for a Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS). The system introduces a three phase ac-ac converter with an isolated high frequency-link for a wind energy conversion system. The galvanic isolation is provided by the HF transformer. The transformer is having the magnetizing inductance which improves power transfer capability. The capacitors are designed on both sides of the transformer to realize ZVS for semiconductor devices and in addition to that it gives passive clamping. The design provides a reduced switch count in order to reduce the losses. The power flow is bi-directional and thus power-flow can be reversed. The operation of the three phase ac-ac converter is explained in eight modes of operation. The performance of the system is analysed using MATLAB/ SIMULINK environment.
