A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…<p dir="ltr">This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong (greater than 25 m/s) wind speed regions. In general, most wind turbines cut off when wind speed is over the cut-out rate; as a result, the power generation of the wind farm decreases. …”
