Design & Implementation of Small Wind Power Plant

Abstract

This Paper describes about the wind power and its potential that can be harnessed in the future to meet the current energy demand. Here detailed description of the wind turbine and the wind generation is to be done in this project. Power generation of around 500w to 1 kw by using horizontal windmill is to be undertaken. Now-a-Days most of the wind turbines are equipped with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) combined with AC-DC-AC converter to extract the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into electrical energy. Same ways in this project Permanent magnet DC generator (PMDC Generator) combined with DC-DC Buck boost converter is used. The DC-DC converter is connecting between generator and the electrical grid in order to control the wind turbine shaft speed and consequently the generated power. These converters have an intermediate
