This paper presents a new converter topology for a permanent magnet synchronous generator based variable speed wind turbine. Main emphasis is on the combination of a controlled rectifier and a novel step-up isolated DC/DC converter topology proposed by the authors. The topology (controlled rectifier coupled with a quasi-Z-source based galvanically isolated step-up DC/DC converter) is essential to generate regulated DC voltage (400 V DC typical for 230 V AC output) despite wide variations in the output voltage of a wind generator. The operation principle of the proposed topology is described in detail. Experimental results are presented and analyzed.
