Variable-Speed Direct-Drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Wind Turbine Modeling and Simulation

Abstract

In this study, the importance, the position, and the encouragements of wind energy which is a type of renewable energy in the world and in Turkey have been mentioned briefly. Also, wind turbines which have lost their importance from past to present and have been used today are discussed concisely. As the main topic of the study, the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) Direct Drive Wind Turbine has been mathematically modeled, and Back-to-back power converter was used and controlled. Then, findings of the study were supported by simulation.
