This paper presents the emulation of an isolated wind energy conversion system, which is composed by a doubly-fed induction generator, a back-to-back converter connected to its rotor, a LC filter to minimize the harmonic pollution in the generated voltage and an isolated three-phase load. In first instance, the test bench is described and its operational capabilities are introduced. Afterwards, the...
The high penetration level of wind power generation in an interconnected electrical network carries new technical challenges regarding system stability. Despite the stochastic nature of the wind, grid reliability has to be guaranteed. In compliance with power companies' new requirements on wind turbines as regards contribution to voltage regulation, this paper proposes a reactive power controller...
High penetration level of wind power generation in the interconnected electrical network and the increasing rated power of the wind energy converter units imposes new technical challenges to engineers. The first one is to guarantee grid stability despite the stochastic nature of wind while the second one is to limit the power losses since electrical machines efficiency do not augment proportionally...
An increasing demand on the quality of wind power systems affects also more and more the fields of lifetime and reliability. But, problems like bearing damages because of bearing currents counteract these desired demands. Especially doubly fed induction generators, which are wide spread in use for wind turbines up to the MW-class can be limited in reliability because of the mentioned problem. Hereby,...
As the demand for renewable energy increases, the role that offshore wind power plants play in generation will become more and more crucial. Permanent magnet salient pole synchronous machines connected to DC network provide an alternative to offshore wind power plants. Fixed excitation is the main drawback. External compensation is an attractive solution to this problem. This paper provides a comparison...
