One of the key issues in the efficient conversion of wind kinetic energy into electricity is the regulation of turbine speed. The paper proposes the principle of turbine speed control where the calculated maximum power of the turbine is used as a reference. The configuration of an AC-DC-AC converter for connecting an asynchronous generator to the grid is presented in detail. Modelling of Pulse Width Modulation converters is also presented. Based on the performed simulation of increasing the wind speed on the model developed in MATLAB®, it was demonstrated that the drive behaves according to the predicted dynamics and thus fulfils the set goals of regulation.
