Abstract

This paper proposes modelling, analysis and control of a small scale wind energy conversion system employing a direct driven Flux Reversal Generator (FRG) connected to the micro grid through a quasi-Z-source inverter (QZSI). This entire research is made up of two major parts viz., FRG and QZSI. In the part I report of this research work, the role of FRG has been thoroughly modelled and verified. In this part II, the modelling and analysis of QZSI for this purpose is presented. In addition, the modified space vector PWM (SVPWM) technique is proposed in this paper to satisfy the shoot-through characteristic of QZSI, which is a novel. The interface of FRG and QZSI to inject power in to micro grid has been finally presented. The simulation results are validated with the analytical results. Section I discusses the open loop control of QZSI. The mathematical modelling of QZSI for this purpose is given and analytically validated. This flowed by section II in which the proposed SVPWM is presented. The procedure to obtain triggering pulses using this proposed modulation technique is discussed. Section III presents closed loop control strategies for QZSI. Section IV presents the micro gridinte face and power injection.

Abstract

This research work, titled Small Scale Wind Generation System, reported in part I and part II, proposes modeling, analysis and control of a small scale wind energy conversion system employing a direct driven Flux Reversal Generator (FRG) connected to the micro grid through a Quasi-Z-Source Inverter (QZSI). The application of QZSI using FRG to feed micro grid is proposed for the first time in this research work. The QZSI can realize buck/boost, inversion and power conditioning in a single stage with improved reliability. Also it features a wide range of voltage gain which is suitable for applications in wind systems, due to the fact that the wind generator output varies widely with wind velocity. In addition, the modified Space Vector PWM (SVPWM) technique is proposed in this paper to satisfy the shoot-through characteristic of QZSI. This also adds to the contribution of this research work. In this part I of this full research, modelling of the small scale FRG for wind system using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is presented. The major parameter of FRG viz, voltage, current, torque and power are analyzed, validated and then represented in d-q model. The simulation results are validated with the analytical results. An experimental set-up to run the full procedure reported in this paper. These results form the basis for part II of this research work.
