Torque Ripple Reduction in PMSG for Standalone Wind Energy System Using Three Level DTC with A Dither Signal

Abstract In this paper, focused on direct torque control (DTC) for permanent magnet synchronous generator direct driven standalone variable speed wind turbine. The machine side converter (MSC) employed three-level DTC with dither signal strategy proposed for minimizes the torque & flux ripple. The triangular signal used as a dither signal & injected in a hysteresis band controller of torque & flux comparator. The optimum magnitude of the triangular wave is 3% of its rated torque & flux used in order to reduce acoustic noise. The proposed strategy minimizes torque & flux ripple as compared to conventional two-level DTC technique. Three-level SVPWM strategy employed for a load-side converter (LSC) in order to reduce harmonic distortion.
