Battery energy storage system for variable speed driven PMSG for wind energy conversion system

Abstract
There are many loads such as remote villages, islands, etc. that are located far away from the main grid. These loads require stand-alone generating system, which can provide constant voltage and frequency for local electrification. Locally available wind power can be used in such off-grid systems. As the wind speed is variable, an AC-DC-AC conversion system is required to convert variable voltage and variable frequency power generation to constant voltage and constant frequency source. Further, as the wind power as well as load is variable there is a need of energy storage device that take care of the load mismatch. In this paper, a standalone wind energy conversion system (WECS) using a variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is proposed with a battery energy storage system.
