The Comparative Study between Back to Back and the Matrix Structure for the Wind Turbine Based on DFIG

Abstract

This study analyses the performance between back to back and the matrix converters used through wind power system based on double fed induction generator (DFIG). The aim of this comparison is to design which converter is well exploiting wind power generation. It is defined as a comparison for each topology in controls, current quality generated by the DFIG and power losses in converters, every part is given in details with its simulation result. These last show that the better performances are obtained when DFIG is fed by the matrix converter.

Keywords

• Wind turbine; Matrix converter; Back to back converter; Power losses; double fed induction generator (DFIG)
