Abstract

Currently, among the topologies of wind energy conversion systems, those based on full power converters are growing. The permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) uses full power converter to allow wide speed ranges to extract the maximum power from the wind. In order to obtain efficient vector control in a synchronous generator with permanent magnets, it is necessary to know the position of the rotor. The PMSGs work over a wide range of speed, and it is mandatory to measure or estimate their speed and position. Usually, the position of the rotor is obtained through Resolver or Encoder. However, the presence of these sensor elements increases the cost, in addition to reducing the system’s reliability. Moreover, in high wind power turbine, the measured wind speed by the anemometer is taken at the level of the blades which makes the measurement of the wind speed at a single point inaccurate. This paper is a study on the sensorless control that removes the rotor position, speed sensors and anemometer from the speed control. The estimation of the rotor position is based on the output of a rotor current controller and the wind speed estimator is based on the opposition-based learning (OBL), particle swarm optimization and support vector regression.
