Abstract

This paper is on wind energy conversion systems

with full-power converter and permanent magnet synchronous

generator. Different topologies for the power-electronic

converters are considered, namely two-level and multilevel

converters. Also, a new fractional-order control strategy is

proposed for the variable-speed operation of the wind turbines.

Simulation studies are carried out in order to adequately assess

the quality of the energy injected into the electrical grid.

Conclusions are duly drawn.
