A dual unequal power converter for wind power applications

摘要

In today's trend wind is one of the most widely used renewable energy source for generation of electricity. The paper mainly based on the wind power generation because the non-renewable energy sources are exhausting. To meet the energy demands we need to use alternative source of energy like wind, solar which are freely available in nature and pollution free. Here a dual unequal power dc-dc converter is used to reduce losses in switches and filters. The converter designed having two full bridge circuits operating at different ratings. For the realization of the circuit ZCS technique is implemented. This system can be used in industries and household appliances. This converter is well suitable for the wind system and reduces some of the drawbacks. The simulation has been carried out using power Simulink by verifying the experimental results.
