Abstract

This work aims to analyze and validate through mathematical modeling and experimental results, in a three-phase three-wire electrical system, the technical viability of a static power converter with a two-level topology with only two controlled branches (2L2B), operating as a grid-side converter (GSC) in a wind turbine generator based on a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). With this reduced-switches topology, the GSC is able to regulate the DC-link voltage level from the generator back-to-back converter and provide ancillary services of harmonic filtering and reactive power compensation from linear/nonlinear loads connected to the point of common coupling. An 8-kVA experimental prototype was implemented in the laboratory to validate the proposal. The prototype control system was realized using the dSPACE DS1103 PPC Controller Board platform programmed via MATLAB/Simulink. The effectiveness of the proposed system is verified by comparing the results obtained with the 2L2B topology to the ones with the usual two-level three-branch topology.
