<p>This study examined the efficient operation and control of an advanced wind energy conversion system (WECS) featuring a grid-connected permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). It also integrates a boost converter and two back-to-back AC/DC converters to reduce sensor requirements. A robust and efficient control system was developed and implemented on the generator side for a three-phase diode bridge rectifier to achieve an optimal power output across different wind speeds. The single-switch boost control strategy was realized using a single active switch at the DC–DC stage to regulate the DC-link voltage. Grid-side control employs the normalized least mean squares (NLMS) method to maintain power balance in zero-voltage regulation (ZVR) and power factor correction (PFC) modes at the point of common coupling (PCC), thereby improving power quality (PQ). Normalized Least Mean Squares The control algorithm provides a quick and effective response to system dynamics, reduces harmonic distortions, manages active and reactive power, ensures fast convergence, and offers comprehensive power quality for wind energy systems. Additionally, a performance comparison is conducted between the NLMS control and the second-order sequence filter (SOSF) control algorithms. The system was tested and validated through experimental analysis using a real-time simulator.</p>
