Abstract
The paper’s aim consists on achieving the control of a HESG for a wind turbine application. This
machine has an auxiliary power source that offers the possibility to control the excitation flux and thus
the machine’s rotation speed. It makes it possible to achieve a variable speed wind turbine that
properly operates according to a MPPT algorithm.
Introduction
Numerous paper present the use of Induction Generator (IG) [2][3], Doubly Fed Induction Generator
(DFIG) [4]-[11] or Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PSMG) [12]-[22] as a function of
electromechanical converter in wind energy conversion applications.
The choice of a structure is based on several criteria that include cost, size and weight, reliability and
maintenance, audible noise, power quality, behavior under shortcomings network, components needed
to complete the system and operating areas.
IG operates on a very limited speed range: the shift is of the order of few %. So the rotation speed of
the machine’ shaft is constant regardless of wind speed.
The DFIG is controlled by a network side converter, either by a control vector or by a direct power
control (DPC) and a rotor side converter by a direct torque control (DTC).
Bauer [23] concluded that IG are the best on the cost and size, DFIG are the best for the power quality
but have a problem for the shortcomings networks and SG are the best for performance energy and
maintenance. The latter also allow us to reduce the size since it can operate without gear. The PMSG
allows us, compared to other machines, to avoid a power converter used to supply rotor windings.
The presented paper focuses on a special permanent magnet synchronous machine called Hybrid
Excitation Synchronous Machine (HESM) used as a generator (Hybrid Excitation Synchronous
Generator e.g. HESG). It can be likened to a combination of synchronous machine with wound rotor
and permanent magnet machine since it has rotor magnets and coils located in the stator. Its control is
simply achieved by a PI controller acting on the machine excitation voltage. Thus, considering a
resistive load in this study, the control is simple and robust [1].
• Area I: output power is maintained to zero, so the turbine is stopped before acquiring the
startup speed Vd,
• Area II: power supplied to the shaft depends on wind speed in order to obtain the maximum
power (Maximum
Maximum Power Point Tracking -MPPT- zone), ), until the wind speed reaches the
nominal speed Vn,
• Area III: the turbine’s rotation speed is kept constant and the power provided equals Pn,
• Area IV: security system stops the energy transfer operation if the wind speed exceeds the
maximum speed Vm.
The HESG used for the presented simulations is based on a 3kW machine constructed at SATIE
laboratory (Fig. 3) in order to lead further experimental studies.

are located at the stator avoiding sliding contacts.

Modeling of the HESM, the bridge rectifier diodes and the resistive load
The model of the HESM have as inputs the three-phase
three phase voltages, the excitation voltage and the
rotation speed and as outputs the three-phase
three phase currents, the excitation current and the electromagnetic
torque. This machine debits on a resistive load knowing that it can reflect heating a fluid that can
subsequently be exploited to produce electricity. Thus, the HESM M debits on diodes bridge rectifier
(non controllable) connected to a resistive load. The model of the bridge
bridge rectifier diodes has been
made from the look of the output voltage and current output of a three phase bridge rectifier diodes
having as inputs the DC current and the phase voltages.
In order to define a proper point of regulation (POR), the HESM is cascaded with capacitors and
resistances. The values of the capacitors and resistances have to be chosen carefully in order to not
influence the behavior of the whole system.
system Some simulation tests were therefore tested for different
values of system capacityty and resistance showing
show that a value of the capacitor around 10µC and a
resistance around 100kΩ are adequate to rebuild voltages in the model without affecting the system
operation (phase, voltage amplification).

Where:
The coefficient Cp depends on the turbine rotation speed and the blades orientation angle β. It is
usually represented as function of the Tip Speed Ratio λ, defined as the ratio of linear speed peripheral
blade tip of the propeller to the normal wind speed component. This coefficient is also called specific
speed of the blade tip:

To have a specific characteristic of the turbine performance coefficient as a function of the Tip Speed
Ratio in the model of the turbine, a Matlab program based on the method of least squares to find the
optimal coefficients of a formula that reduce the error between a curve found in [27] and from which
we have took the values point by point and the formula proposed in [28], has been implemented. This
program has converged and gave good results of the curve Cp as a function of λ for β ranging from 0 to
3°.
The final formula found was included in the model of the turbine:

Fig. 9. Outer Loop Rotation Speed Control for a varying wind speed
The operating principle at a variable speed is based on the MPPT algorithm whose goal is to extract
the maximum power from the turbine for different wind speeds.
Thus, the speed set point of the turbine which allows the extraction of the maximum performance was
at first calculated according to the wind speed. Then, the turbine speed was regulated by the excitation
current which represents the reference for the machine current regulation which in turn is provided by
the excitation voltage of the HESM.
The control of a wind turbine with variable speed was proved well with a rather simple control
compared to induction generator (IG) or Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG).
Experimental measurements are left for a future study where they will be compared to the presented
simulation results.
