It is impossible to meet the increasing demand for electrical energy with the available deposits of fossils fuels that are already at the edge of depletion. Harnessing energy by means of alternative energy sources has been initiated in order to meet increasing energy demand in the future. Wind energy is found out to be more potential resource than all other renewable sources. The converters that are presented in the wind system play a major role for improving the quality of power. The test system comprises matrix converter attached to DFIG machine and the rotor of generator is coupled to the grid. The conventional matrix converter is then replaced with the proposed multilevel matrix converters. THDs of the voltages and currents at generating and load points are evaluated for the DFIG machine and it can run by diode clamped and flying capacitor multilevel matrix converters. For managing the switching devices in the converter circuit, the space vector pulse width modulation approach is devised. MATLAB/Simulink software is used to graphically show and evaluate the stator voltages and currents of the DFIG machine.
