Abstract
This paper proposes a small scale wind energy conversion system comprising a direct driven PMSG
connected to the grid through a power electronic interface.
The variable voltage variable frequency output
from the wind generator is rectified, boosted and converted in to a fixed voltage fixed frequency output.
The boost chopper maintains a constant DC at the inverter terminals.
The modulation index of the inverter
is adjusted to extract maximum power from the wind.
The system components such a
