Abstract
In the
socio-economic development, the requirement of energy is considered as the most
essential element. Renewable energy sources can play an enormous role to
fulfill this need of energy. These sources will not only improve independency
of energy, but also help in many ways, such as mitigation of climate change,
swift development of rural areas, improved health status, and will be the best
way to move towards sustainable development. Among all the renewable energy
sources, the wind energy plays a key role to reduce fossil fuels dependency and
acts as a helpful tool to conflict global warming. Wind energy is indeed a form
of solar energy produced by differential heating on the earth surface. Wind's
kinetic energy can be captured and converted into electricity via wind
turbines. This paper presents the analysis of wind energy conversion system
employing DFIG when it is connected to the grid. The Back to Back Voltage
Source Converter is used for converting the unregulated generated AC into
regulated AC. The sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique is used for
generating the control pulses to the converter
