Design and optimization of control parameters based on direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator for wind power system

摘要

The direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (DDPMSG) for wind power system uses a back-to-back double PWM converter. PI controller based on decoupling control strategies is used to control generator side converter and grid side converter. But the parameters of the PI controller are difficult to obtain correctly. Though manual tuning method is applied to regulate the parameters, the method would waste a lot of time and greatly depend on the experience. The paper analyses the mathematical model of direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous wind power generation system. It presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for determining the parameters of PI controller for PMSG to improve the control ability. PSO is powerful stochastic evolutionary algorithm that is used to find the global optimum solution in search space. Under the condition of wind speed mutation, the simulation results of PMSG system after PI parameter optimization show that the PI control with PSO algorithm can fit the real value. The PSO controller has fast convergence rate, strong adaptability and good dynamic performance.
