A different model of WECS connected to smart grid through matrix converter

Abstract

Rapid depletion of fossil fuels which the main source of origin of electric energy production is a major problem. To overcome this problem, it is an opportunity for renewable energy sources. Electric energy generation with wind turbines system is becoming more widely used. The energy quality is an important issue. In particular, power quality must be ensured for costumers especially industrial type applications. In this study, a micro grid fed by the wind turbine system to meet the energy requirements of an industrial plant is developed. High quality and stable electricity for three-phase AC Matrix Converter was used.
