PSIM Modeling of Wind Turbine Generators

03/10/2010 9:31 PM

Hi,

I am currently modeling a wind turbine system feeding a permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG). I'm using Psim version 8.0 and so far I've been having problems with interfacing my input electrical quantity with the generator shaft. Now I'm being told that the input to the shaft should be a current quantity to signify the torque. So far I had tried modeling the power and torque quantities as voltage parameters.Can someone tell me what is the right approach to this simulation? And if i have to use current quantities,do I model the wind speed profile as a current value?

I would think it's not so much a modeling problem, but what you get modeling an uncontrolled turbine.

The problem with direct electric generation from wind is the curves don't match.

The wind power output curve is roughly P = 1/4 U3 and the alternator "curve" is I2R, meaning 1 maximum point when I2R is tangential.

Or alternatively, 2 intersections describing a not fully matched envelope - outside of which, no power is produced, or the alternator is overwhelmed.

(U = induction wind velocity in m/s, P = Watts)
