Abstract: Renewable energy is garnering the attention of people with rising global energy consumption and perceivable environmental pollution all across the universe. The rising size of wind farms needs power system stability analysis [7] inclusive of dynamic wind generator models. In the case of turbines with power greater than 1MW, doubly-fed induction machines are the most popularly utilized concept. But, direct-drive wind generators that depend on converter-driven synchronous generator concepts [11] have attained substantial penetration in the market. This research work introduces converter driven synchronous generator model utilizing frequency based matrix converter [9] with the aid of SVPWM approach [6] and the parameters such as stator and grid voltage/current are measured and the overall THD of the system is analyzed. The matrix converter with frequency based technique is utilized for converting the variable voltage to a stable value, which can be connected to a grid.
