Abstract: This study deals with design and control of a connected wind energy generation system employing a Permanent Synchronous Generator (PMSG) is driven by a variable speed wind turbine for three-phase four-wire local loads. The proposed energy conversion system uses back to back connected Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) based Voltage Source Converters (VSCs). The ac terminals of one VSC (stator side converter) are connected to the stator terminals of PMSG for the Maximum Power Tracking (MPT) through its rotor speed control. The grid side converter uses Adaline neural network for harmonics, reactive power and unbalanced compensation. The proposed system is modeled and simulated on MATLAB using simulink and Sim Power Systems (SPS) set toolboxes. The performance of the proposed system is presented to demonstrate its capability of MPT, harmonic elimination, load balancing and load leveling.
