Design and Control of a Diode Clamped Multilevel Wind Energy System Using a Stand-Alone AC-DC-AC Converter

Wind energy conversion technologies and engineering approaches to enhancing wind power generation: A review

“…Besides, additional topology with more advanced power generating capability was recently unveiled to be under construction for further enhanced application in the future. DCC [ 23 , 24 ] Mostly suitable for offshore wind energy harvesting application, and less applicable for onshore-based wind farms This converter system was introduced for multi-megawatt scale power generating wind farm application. As it was claimed in one of the recent system modeling-based studies, power generation through the implementation of this converter technology can be significantly enhanced by resulting in increased electricity production and reduced weight of the converter itself.…”

“…Several additional designs of converter technologies were also proposed in the multiple studies for applications in the wind power industries. These include DCC [ 20 , 24 ], NPC [ 25 , 26 ], ANPC [ 27 , 28 ], etc., and they were introduced to be employed in the wind farms of large-scale power capacities that are mainly based on PMSG systems. In addition, similar studies were indicating that these converters are yet to be sufficiently matured for the smooth practical applications in the recent wind farm trends.…”

Power Management of Open Winding PM Synchronous Generator for Unbalanced Voltage Conditions

“…In certain cases, these oscillations lead to instability if the DC bus voltage surpasses the most extreme limit. In general, the unbalanced voltage problem can be compensated using a series active power filter by injecting a negative sequence voltage [15], [16], a shunt active power filter by injecting a negative sequence current [17], [18], and series parallel compensators such as the unified power quality conditioners [19], [20].…”
