In an isolated mode operation of wind power generating system (WPGS), operating voltage and frequency are affected under sudden change of load because of more transient time, higher total harmonic distortion. To minimize the effects, the WEGS should be operated with suitable controller and the inverter should be operated with required pulse width modulation (PWM) technique. In this paper, the proposed WPGS is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink with adaptive voltage controller (AVC) and load current observer (LCO) and the inverter is operating with Unified voltage Space Vector PWM (USVPWM) technique to improve the transient behaviour of the system. The same proposed system is also simulated with conventional space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) techniques. The simulation results will be analyzed in various load conditions. The conventional SVPWM results compared with the USVPWM results like transient time, load voltage and load current total harmonic distortion under balanced three-phase load.
