Concerns over environmental impact and high infrastructure cost heavily influence the uptake of wind turbine technology. Recently, researchers have started to look into small wind turbines, which are much smaller in size and capacity. Small wind turbines have less environmental impact and low infrastructure cost. These small turbines have limited power generation capacity, requiring multiple turbines to be connected together to produce useful power. In order to capture power from multiple wind turbines, researchers have proposed numerous topologies in the literature. However, these traditional topologies were designed for high-power wind turbines and cannot be used to connect very small wind turbines since a significant amount of the generated power would be lost in driving the complex electronic circuits used in traditional topologies. In this paper, we present a multiple-input nonisolated dc-dc converter design that collects the output power from series-connected very small wind turbines. The proposed system was implemented in our smart energy laboratory and experimental results were gathered, showing a significant improvement over existing converters.

用于超小型风力发电机的多输入级联 DC__C 转换器


对环境影响和高昂基础设施成本的担忧严重影响了风力涡轮机技术的采用。最近，研究人员开始研究小型风力涡轮机，其尺寸和容量要小得多。小型风力涡轮机对环境的影响较小，基础设施成本较低。这些小型涡轮机的发电能力有限，需要将多个涡轮机连接在一起才能产生有用的电力。为了从多个风力涡轮机获取电力，研究人员在文献中提出了多种拓扑结构。然而，这些传统拓扑是为高功率风力涡轮机设计的，不能用于连接非常小的风力涡轮机，因为在驱动传统拓扑中使用的复杂电子电路时会损失大量产生的电力。在本文中，我们提出了一种多输入非隔离 DC-DC 转换器设计，该设计可收集串联的小型风力涡轮机的输出功率。所提出的系统在我们的智能能源实验室中实施，并收集了实验结果，显示出对现有转换器的显着改进。
