Control of the output voltage of asynchronous wind turbine with variable speed using a static VAR compensator (SVC)

Abstract

In this paper, we are studying the control of the output voltage of a system composed of an asynchronous wind turbine connected to a converter AC / DC, a Static VAR Compensator (SVC) and a resistive load. This device is intended for the application of wind energetic conversion in the case of an isolated site. Using a static VAR compensator (SVC), we present a control law which regulates the output voltage of the wind system despite a sudden change of wind speed and load. The simulation results presented and discussed show that the output voltage is controlled at the desired value. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
