I. INTRODUCTION
Renewable energy sources are widely used in industry to avoid pollution and for economic purpose. Solar energy used
for power generation using solar rays, hydro energy is used for power generation using waters hydrostatic energy; wind
energy is used for power generation using wind. Mostly wind energy is used for power generation purpose in comparison
with hydro and solar energy due to following reasons. Wind farm setup require small geographical area in comparison with
hydro power plant that effects in humans life, commercial user, residential area etc. wind energy can be obtained in day
and night in comparison with solar energy because solar energy is obtained in only day .
Variable speed operation yields 20 to 30 percent energy than the fixed speed operation, reduces power fluctuations and
improves reactive power supply. Falling prices of the power electronics have made the variable speed technology more
economic.
A variable speed wind turbine was modelled using PSS/E to facilitate the investigation of the impact of large amounts
of wind turbines on the behavior of an electric power system. The disadvantage is that the authors are not dealing with the
converter control [1, 2].. The purpose of this paper is to provide a dynamic performance and grid impact analysis capability
of a gearless VSWT based on mathematical equation using rectifier and inverter so that reactive power is controlled to
avoid losses and improves power quality and synchronization is possible to grid using Matlab/Simulink

Fig.2 represents characteristics of (Cp, ). From this fig power coefficient (CP) varies with increasing pitch angle (),
When pitch angle is at minimum value (0 Degree) at this value power coefficient (CP) goes to maximum value. After that
CP goes down with increasing value of . In broad manner we can say CP determines the efficiency of wind turbine.
Suppose Cp = 0.50, It means that 50% of wind energy is extracted using wind turbine and Turbine efficiency is 50
percentages.
3. Design of Induction Generator
Single fed induction generator is used for power generation purpose because it is very economical and low cost. The
two common reference frames used in the analysis of induction machine are the stationary and synchronously rotating
reference frames. Each has its own advantage for some purpose. In the stationary rotating reference, the dq variables of
the machine are in the same frame as those normally used for the supply network. It is convenient choice of frame when
supply network is large or complex design is proposed in [3], [4], and [7].

The transformation equation from abc to this qd0 reference frame is given by:

4. Design of Three Phase Uncontrolled Rectifier
The three-phase uncontrolled diode bridge rectifier converts input ac power into the output dc one. Typical DB
circuits are shown in Fig.5 [5]. Since the diodes are uncontrolled devices, the time instant of each switch is determined by
the circuit condition, in contrast to controlled rectifier units based on thyristors or transistors. From Fig.4 After rectifier LC
filter is used so output is pure dc voltage. Hence the development will be based on the non-switching model, as detailed
below.
Non Switching Model: Under the balanced conditions, the three-phase sinusoidal voltages at ac side terminals Va, Vb
and Vc can be written as follows:
cos t +
Va
Vabc = Vb Vm cos t +

As it is seen from (25) and (26), the switching function fundamental components are in phase with input terminal voltage
for this rectifier type. The input-output relationships of the DB rectifier are given as:

Iin = TF. Ia

Where Vab, Vbc, Vca is Output Voltage, Iin is input current and Ia, Ib, Ic is o/p current. TF is transfer function of VSI.
Generally transfer function consists of several switching function is given as:

In order to define the switching functions SPWM technique is applied as control strategy. Based on SPWM two switching
function (SF1,SF2) is designing for inverter modeling.SF1 is used to express the (Va0,Vb0,Vc0) and calculated the inverter
line to line voltage(Vab, Vbc, Vca) and phase voltage (Van, Vbn, Vcn). SF2 is designed for voltage across switch and load

Through proportional-integral (PI) control gains, errors between Pref and Pinv and between Qref and Qin (depending
on reactive power control mode) in Fig.6 are processed into the q and d axis reference Current Iq_ref and Id_ref, respectively,
which are transformed into the a, b and c axis reference current Ia_ref, Ib_ref and Ic_ref by the dq to abc transformation block.
The phase-lock loop (PLL) block generates a signal synchronized in phase to the inverter output voltage Va to provide
the reference phase angle ref for the rotational inverse dq transformation T ()-1. When the desired currents on the ABC
frame are set, a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique is applied because of its simplicity and excellent performance.
In the PWM generator block, the desired current vector Iabc_ref and the actual current vector Iabc of the VSWT are
compared. The error signal vector Ierror is compared with a triangle waveform vector to create switching signals for the six
IGBTs of the VSI. Iq_upper and Iq_lower are usually set at 1.1 to 1.5 times the VSIs rated current to protect the system from
excessive heating. Upper and lower limit of Q-axis current is given as:
Iq_upper = 0.82 [kA], Iq_lower = -0.82 [kA

Maximum power is obtained by varying the turbine speed with wind speed such that it is on the track of the maximum
power curve PMAX at all times. One reliable way of capturing the maximum power is to specify the desired real power Pref

FIG. 20: Active Power of inverter (Pinv), reactive Power of inverter (Qinv) without controller
From Fig.20 Reactive power of Inverter is increasing , more harmonics is introduced in system so resultant useful power

Here K = 0.1, T = 0.018. So for PI controller K p =0.045, KI = 0.014994. From Fig.22 Active Power of inverter (Pinv) is
increasing and reactive Power (Qinv) is decreasing so resultant power quality is improved. Suppose comparing Phase
Voltage without controller in Fig.16 and with controller in Fig. 21,
We can see that phase voltage contains more harmonics and current not so uniform (initially certain distortion occurs)
In Fig. 16 (without controller), But phase voltage contains less harmonics and current waveforms are uniform in Fig. 21
(with controller), so resultant Power Quality is improved is given as Fig. 22.
Fig. 22 represents THD with controller, suppose comparing THD without Controller (Fig.17) and with controller (Fig.22),
from here THD is decreasing with Controller than THD without Controller. So resultant Power quality is improving.
IV. CONCLUSION
In this paper we are analyzing VSWT performance in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Models of the subsystems of which a
variable speed wind turbine consists were developed and practical values for the various parameters were given. It was
concluded that both theoretical considerations and experimental evidence justify the representation of the two most
important variable-speed wind turbine concepts with the same model in power system dynamics simulations. The
integration of the developed model into a power system dynamics simulation using Matlab /Simulink was discussed and
simulation results that were obtained with the derived model were analyzed.
