DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF HIGH GAIN CONVERTER USING OFFSHORE WECS.

Electrical Engineering

The project deals with wind energy conversion systems which has become a rising trend due to increased demand for green and secure electricity supply, especially in remote areas. Over the last decade, the penetration of renewable energy sources has been increasing steadily in the power system. The power harvesting from the WECS is increased and additionally expansion of the exploitable wind speed region toward the lower speed range is accomplished. The input voltage from wind energy conversion systems gets boosted into desired output voltage using isolated DC-DC converter with medium frequency based transformer. This proposed system gives robust, effective operation in the system and the obtained voltage gets converted into AC voltage using current source converter for grid systems. The current source converter gets triggered by predictive control which gives accuracy. This is the optimal solution to linear robust control problems besides it carries a low computational cost.
