Nonlinear Predictive Control of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Used in Wind Energy System

Abstract

In this paper, the output voltage of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) connected to a PWM rectifier is controlled using a nonlinear predictive control. This device is intended for an application in wind energy conversion in the case of an isolated site. The simulation results of the whole conversion chain are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed system.
