This document summarizes a new control method for an offshore wind energy conversion system using a doubly fed induction generator and Z-source inverter. Two control methods are proposed - capacitor voltage control and DC-link voltage control. Simulation results show that for capacitor voltage control, the rotor speed tracks the maximum power point, extracted mechanical power tracks maximum turbine power, and capacitor voltage is kept constant. The power delivered to the grid matches the extracted mechanical power. DC-link voltage control maintains a constant DC-link voltage while capacitor voltage and power outputs vary with shoot-through time. Capacitor voltage control regulates power transfer more effectively.
