Abstract

This paper presents data of the actual installed electric power capacity for the renewable energy power systems in Portugal. Also, this paper presents a contribution consisting in a modulation strategy for simulation of a wind energy system with different topologies for power converters, consisting on a matrix and a two-level converter. Although more complex, this modulation strategy is justified for more accurate results.
