Abstract

The efficiency of systems for converting wind energy into electricity to a large extent depends on the ratio of the speed of rotation of the shaft of the wind turbine to the speed of the wind driving the wind turbine. In this paper, the dependence of the efficiency of a wind energy conversion system on wind speed is determined when using the mode of maintaining the maximum power point tracking, which allows maximum power to be extracted from wind energy. The provision of the optimal turbine rotation speed calculated using the maximum power mode is carried out using the vector control system of the permanent magnet synchronous generator. The mechanical losses in the gearbox and in the synchronous machine are determined, the losses in the steel of the synchronous machine and the switching losses in an autonomous voltage inverter are taken into account.
