Simulations of vertical axis wind turbines with PMSG and diode rectification to a mutual DC-bus

Transient simulations were performed with MATLAB Simulink on a mutual wind park topology, where three vertical axis wind turbines equipped with permanent magnet synchronous generators were connected to a mutual DC-bus through passive diode rectification. The aim with the work was to show the effects of two different kinds of loads on the system in respect to generator torque, rotor speed, produced power by the generators and the power on the DC-bus. The loads were a variable voltage source and a resistance with the value 2.0 Ω. It was shown that the transient behavior of the system in respect to both kinds of loads exhibited a high level of stability when the wind speed was altered. It was also shown that the system when equipped with a voltage source load began to oscillate with the natural frequency of a two mass rotating spring system if a sudden increase of the voltage made the DC-bus voltage larger than the peak of the internal induced voltage of the generators. Small variations of the DC voltage however exhibited a stable behavior.
