Modeling and simulation of a small wind turbine system based on PMSG generator

Abstract

This paper presents a dynamic modeling and simulation of a small wind turbine connected to a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator PMSG, which is controlled by a Zero d-axis current (ZDC) control scheme. The model of the wind turbine system is developed using basic mathematical equations and it is carried out using the Matlab /Simulink environment. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mathematical model of the small wind turbine to determine its dynamic behaviors.
