MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A GEARLESS VARIABLE SPEED WIND TURBINE SYSTEM WITH PSMG

Abstract

When it comes to wind turbine designs and construction, high-tech technology is at the forefront. Gearless wind
turbine designs are necessary because of the extreme stress and climatic conditions under which a wind turbine gearbox must
operate. There are a number of advantages to gearless wind turbine technology, including a reduced risk of downtime and
repair expenses, which is especially essential when dealing with offshore turbines because of the difficulty of dispatching
qualified technicians to the area. This research examines the performance of a wind turbine with a permanent magnet
synchronized generator that operates without a gearbox (PMSG). MATLAB/Simulink software is used to model and
simulate the gearless variable-speed wind turbine design with PMSG. An electric-power scheme can be sustained by a Wind
Turbine, as demonstrated by the results. Model, simulate, and analyses the effects of wind speed and Q-reference variations
on the variable speed wind turbine system with a permanent magnet synchronous generator by using this study effort.
