This paper presents a novel control strategy for the operation of a direct drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based stand alone variable speed wind turbine. The control strategy for the generator side converter with maximum power extraction is discussed. The stand alone control is featured with output voltage and frequency controller capable of handling variable load. The potential excess of power is dissipated in the damp resistor with the chopper control and the dc link voltage is maintained. Dynamic representation of dc bus and small signal analysis are presented. Simulation results show that the controllers can extract maximum power and regulate the voltage and frequency under varying wind and load conditions. The controller shows very good dynamic and steady state performance.

• Control for Grid-Connected and Intentional Islanding Operations of Distributed Power Generation (2011, unknown): “When the microgrid is cut off from the main grid (intentional-islanding operation), each DG system has to detect this islanding situation and has to be switched to a voltage control mode to provide constant voltage to the local sensitive loads [13]–[15].”
