Wind energy conversion system in electricity power production has increased rapidly owing to enormous technical developments significantly reducing cost leading to economic production of energy. The use of conventional way generating resources have been made since many decades. Though each one of us has received the useful amount of energy from these resources yet comes with the price. Most of these are extracted from the fossil fuel and it is pretty clear that these are not at all eco-friendly. Moreover as time has passed the availability of these resources is not decreasing. Which tends to reflect the effect in the rise of their prices. Hence, the intellectual individuals in the field of energy generation are inclining more towards the renewable resources as these are renewable. The work presented in this has its focal point on wind energy. It is very unpredictable but has quite potential to participate in fulfilling the energy demand in current scenario. The energy generation is done via PMSG which requires a suitable technique for controlling it in extracting maximum power. Due to the random and unpredictable nature of wind, it is difficult to get the maximum output from it and hence require maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. This thesis focuses on the development of two drive train interfaced Permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) for wind energy conversion system (WECS). It focuses on design and modeling aspects of the different components of the WECS like the basic model of two drive train, converters, wind turbine, optimal maximum power point tracking system using MATLAB/Simulink. The thesis displays the model of wind turbine along with the model of PMSG. The MPPT technique used here is based on Perturbation and observation (P&O). To complete the process of modeling and simulation the platform of MATLAB/Simulink is utilized. This ensures the MPPT. As the wind speed is random and vary all the time, effective generation losses occurs due to the disturbance in system voltage frequency. To counter it voltage source converter (VSC) is in operation with voltage & frequency controller. The analysis is carried out for different wind speed profile. WECS laboratory prototype is used and experimental results are developed for it. It shows the improvements for the system and control action for balance/unbalanced steady state as well as dynamic conditions.
