A Predictive Solution to Unbalanced-Voltage Problem in Wind Turbine Using Four-leg Indirect Matrix Converter
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper, a four leg indirect matrix converter (IMC) is presented for the solution to unbalanced voltage in wind turbines. The wind driven PMSG is used as a generator for the power supply. The four leg indirect matrix converter is eliminates the unbalanced power supply problems that are common in the wind power generation due to variable input parameters. The zero sequence is developed between the output voltage supply of the wind generator thereby the unbalanced voltage levels are balanced and the output power factor is maintained. The zero sequence is generated efficiently as there is no DC link between the two converter stages of the IMC. This produces the zero vector in the inverter voltage thereby the power factor is improved. Simulation using MATLAB is presented and the results are compared.
