Wind energy is a leader area of application for variable-speed generators operating on the constant grid frequency. This paper depicts the power quality enhancement in wind power system using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) and Quasi Z-source Inverter. The PMSG is connected to the power network by means of a quasi z-source inverter (qZSI). The PMSG are used by these technologies due to extraordinary characteristics such as a smaller amount weight and volume, superior performance, eradicate the gear box and no need of peripheral power in permanent magnet excitation. The PMSG overcome the induction generator and other generators, because of their splendid performances without take up the grid power. But Induction Generator always needs the grid connection for getting power to start. In this paper the quasi Z-source inverter is a present that is a novel topology conjugated from the traditional Z source Inverter. The qZSI inherits all the advantages of the ZSI, that is performs buck-boost, inversion and power control in wind energy conversion system (WECS) Moreover, the proposed qZSI the matchless advantages of less component ratings and stable dc current from the source. All over boost control methods are built for the ZSI can be used by the qZSI .This Paper presents hysteresis current control technique for the quasi Z- source inverter.
