Phase angle monitoring, tracking and control are necessary when integrating more than one electrical power generating systems as one main energy source, e.g. integrating multi wind energy sources and / or PV energy system and / or fuel generation with the main utility-grid. In wind energy power generation system, the generator output frequency changes according to the wind speed variations. If the generator power is feeding a controlled rectifier, the phase angle must be detected. This paper introduces a software phase locked loop (SPLL) implemented by a digital signal processor (DSP TMS320F240) for detecting the phase angle and controlling the switching instances of a 3-phase controlled rectifier. The SPLL is implemented using the dq components in the synchronous reference frame of the 3 phase generator voltage. Simulation and experimental results show that the controlled rectifier output voltage is constant for a wide range of wind speed variations.
