Three parallel-connected wind energy conversion units supplying a direct current (DC) load are simulated and discussed. It is found that the sub-module will directly adjust the transmission of power and protect the generator from overheating, which can occur due to voltage fluctuation. Furthermore, a DC voltage controller is designed to ensure a stable closed-loop system, and the system stability is verified using bode plots. The dynamic response of the system is demonstrated with the use of power simulator (PowerSim, Rockville, USA) software to verify the reliability of the proposed rectifier topology.en© Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
