Abstract
The aim of this paper is the complete modeling and simulation of an optimal control system using practical setup parameters for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) through a direct driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (D-PMSG) feeding ac power to the utility grid. The generator is connected to the grid through a back-to-back PWM converter with a switching frequency of 10 KHz. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control is proposed to ensure the maximum power capture from wind turbine, and a PI controller designed for the wind turbine to generate optimum speed for the generator via an aerodynamic model. MATLAB/Simulink results demonstrate the accuracy of the developed control scheme
