I. INTRODUCTION
Renewable energy sources (RES) must be integrated into the power grid in order to solve critical environmental challenges such as pollution and climate change. Among these, wind energy is the most practical and ecological choice. Nevertheless, the creation of appropriate control systems is necessary for the efficient use of wind power.
In this study, we use advanced hybrid controllers to examine the performance of a six-phase wind energy conversion system (WECS). Our goal is to improve grid-connected WECS power quality through the use of a six-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and sophisticated control strategies. There are many benefits to using a PMSG in wind turbine applications, including as increased performance and efficiency.
The objective of this investigation is to assess how well sophisticated hybrid controllers work to improve the WECS's performance, efficiency, and dependability. We examine the system's capacity to manage a range of operating situations and enhance energy conversion by combining hybrid control systems.

IV. METHODOLOGY
A significant advancement in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) involves the adoption of improved power evacuation methods. Variable speed WECS offer numerous advantages over fixed speed systems, including increased energy production, reduced aerodynamic noise levels, and enhanced power quality. Research by Kumar V et al., 2017, [24], demonstrates that variable speed WECS reduce mechanical stress on components and optimize turbine power coefficient across a wide range of wind speeds.
The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) is particularly favoured for wind power evacuation due to its high power factor during operation, eliminating the need for additional excitation supply. PMSGs offer enhanced reliability and thermal characteristics by eliminating field losses and mechanical components like slip rings. Moreover, PMSGs can operate at higher power factors without magnetizing current, highlighting their noteworthy properties.
The Power Electronics Conversion System (PECS) within the WECS regulates the terminal voltage of the Distributed Generation (DG). The Machine Side Converter (MSC) controls maximum wind power extraction, while the Grid Side Inverter (GSI) maintains stable DC link voltage, facilitates reactive power exchange with the grid, and synchronizes the inverter. Although the incorporation of PECS increases installation costs, it improves system stability by decoupling grid and wind turbine perturbations, ensuring grid supply quality and compliance with grid standards.
The Various factors to be considered:
This research work reviews the performance of a six-phase wind energy conversion system (WECS) using advanced hybrid controllers. The study likely focuses on improving aspects like efficiency, power quality, or stability under varying wind conditions. The conclusion section would summarize the effectiveness of these controllers in achieving the desired performance goals. It might discuss how the hybrid controllers addressed challenges in the six-phase system, such as maintaining balanced DC link voltages. The paragraph would likely end by highlighting the benefits of the proposed system and potential areas for future research.
