Also Available Domains Wind Power Generation|Multilevel Converters

Project Code :TEPGED221

Objective

The main objective of this project is to reduce the number of active devices by using a Unidirectional Cascaded High-Power Wind Converter.

Abstract

This paper presents, a unidirectional-power-flow medium voltage high-power cascaded wind power converter. The proposed topology uses a unidirectional cascaded H-bridge rectifier as the generator-side converter to connect the medium-voltage permanent synchronous wind generator. The proposed topology reduces the number of active power devices and their associated gate driver circuits, control, etc. A zero dead time modulation method is also presented for the generator side converter, which can eliminate the dead time and improve the voltage and current waveform quality. The operation of a Unidirectional Cascaded High power wind converter is validated by performing several simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

Keywords: Cascaded H-bridge, unidirectional power flow, wind power converter, zero dead time modulation.
