This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a direct control strategy for an interior permanent magnet synchronous generator (IPM SG)-based variable speed wind turbine. Some key points:
- The proposed direct control scheme regulates torque and stator flux independently using separate hysteresis controllers, eliminating the need for current controllers. Voltage vectors are selected using switching logic and a hysteresis comparator.
- A mathematical model of the IPM SG is developed using a d-q reference frame. Equations are provided for torque production and flux linkage.
- A rectifier is used to convert the AC output of the generator to DC. The rectifier has six active switching vectors and two zero vectors that can be selected to control
