Abstract :

 The aim of this work is to analyze a typical configuration of The Variable Speed Wind Turbine (VSWT) configuration is the dominant wind turbine topology available at this moment on the market. Moreover, the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) offers better performance than other generators because of its higher efficiency and of less maintenance since they don’t have rotor current and can be used without a gearbox, which also implies a reduction of the weight of the nacelle and a reduction of costs. VSWT wind turbine generator consists of another three parts: wind speed, wind turbine and drive train. These elements have been modeled and the equations that explain their behaviour have been introduced. What is more, the whole WTGS has been implemented in MATLAB. Therefore, in this paper the modeling of a 2 MW VSWT equipped with PMSG is presented.
