Abstract: This project is concerned with the optimization of energy generation from a wind turbine, and the injection of this energy to a DC bus. In order to simulate the whole system, a 10:1 to scale model will be designed, with a maximum output power of 100 W. After the design, the model will be simulated and tested with PSIM software. The system will be made up with a Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) linked to the wind turbine that will turn mechanical power into AC electrical power. Then, this power will go through a three-phase rectifier diode and a DC boost converter so the system can harvest the DC bus. The DC boost converter will be controlled by a microcontroller unit programmed on C with an algorithm that will attempt to extract the maximum power given by the wind energy. This project is involved in the educational Workbench for Renewable Energy (eWRE): an educational workbench to evaluate and test power modules and control strategies on smart grids powered by renewable energies.
