Abstract

This paper
presents, a Radial Basis Function
Network (RBFN) controller based boost type Vienna Rectifier, which is engaged
for a single stage energy conversion in the wind turbine system (WTS) over
two-stage energy conversion (Diode bridge rectifier + Boost converter). The
boost type Vienna Rectifier converts AC power into DC power with increased
voltage level in a single stage conversion. It is having the benefits of low voltage
stress across switches (50% of DC-link voltage), reduced harmonics, sinusoidal
input current shaping, and improved power factor etc. This sort of AC/DC
conversion is adequate for low voltage DC
distribution, telecommunication systems,
and data centers etc. In this, an RBFN controller is engaged for the fast
dynamic response over the conventional converter controllers. This paper
presents the comparative analysis of single stage boost type Vienna Rectifier
on two-stage conversion for 400V/1kW wind system and results are validated in
MATLAB/Simulink
