Effects to System Performance of Different PWM Techniques in Field Oriented Speed Control with back-to-back Converter of PMSG

Abstract

In this paper, the performance of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM), sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) and hysteresis current control (HCC) techniques used in speed control with back to back converter of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) used in wind turbines are comparatively analyzed. The comparative analysis includes dynamic response, total harmonic distortion (THD), torque ripple and current ripple. Furthermore, SVPWM and SPWM are compared in terms of the using DC link voltage. Analysis of system is realized with MATLAB/Simulink program. PMSG used in simulations is surface mounted, bipolar and its power is 1.8 kW. Also, the energy of PMSG is transferred to grid with Field Oriented Control (FOC). According to analysis results, it has been observed that SVPWM generally has more effective results than both HCC and SPWM control techniques. Finally, it is observed that SVPWM can produce about 15 percent higher than SPWM in output voltage.
