This document presents a paper on using impedance source converters for wind energy systems. It discusses how variable speed wind turbines can improve energy utilization and discusses different converter topologies. It proposes using a doubly fed induction generator and z-source converter for a fully variable speed wind energy system. It describes the active and shoot-through states of the z-source converter and shows MATLAB simulations validating the converter's operation. The conclusion is that this proposed system provides more efficiency and control over active and reactive power transfer for wind energy applications.

7. WHY DFIG ?
• DFIG provides more operating range compared to other
• It provides -40% to +30% speed range.
• The power flows in both rotor and stator

8. WHY A P.E CONVERTER IS NEEDED IN WIND
ENERGY CONVERSION ?
• The wind flows may not be fully controlled and can
cause variances in the frequency at which the power is
generated.
• Power electronic devices are utilized in these systems to
convert the generated ac voltages into HVDC.
• Through these devices, the power delivered by these
systems is cleaner and has a higher P.F .

20. CONCLUSION:
• By using both DFIG and ZSI in wind energy systems we
can get more efficiency and control over the active and
reactive powers. The proposed system has high
performance, minimal count, increased efficiency and
reduced cost.
