Abstract

Small wind turbines generators (SWTG) often use a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and a bridge rectifier for battery charging. With this simple load scheme, the wind turbine does not operate in its maximum electrical power in all operating conditions, and voltage and current harmonics flows in PMSG stator, increasing heating and electrical losses. In this work, it is proposed a system for a SWTG with two main characteristics: maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and power factor correction (PFC) of PMSG. Proposed system is simulated in PSIM® software, with a dynamic SWTG model. A bench test, which simulates the behavior of a SWTG, is developed for testing the proposed system in laboratory. Results show that proposed system increase power generated by PMSG and at the same time decreases harmonic content of voltage and current on the stator.
