Wind power represents a growing share of electricity supply on many power systems around the world. The UK has plans for over 33GW of offshore wind power to be developed before 2020, which would substantially alter the generation mix. The GB electric grid has traditionally depended on fossil fuel fired synchronous plant to control power output and maintain the balance between supply and demand through...
Vanadium redox flow batteries offer many advantages over other energy storage technologies. In the context of wind farm operation, these batteries could greatly enhance the interaction of intermittent renewables with the power system and can provide ancillary services such as frequency control. This allows renewable sources to behave more like conventional plant. In this paper a novel power system...
Large-scale permanent magnet generators with full power electronic converters are of increasing interest to many wind turbine manufacturers. These systems offer an efficient and reliable solution for offshore and low wind sites. However, the advantages of these generators necessitate a system design approach when selecting a power electronic drive and designing to meet the toughest grid code elements...
Recent advances in the large-scale wind turbine industry have seen many manufacturers develop and introduce designs incorporating permanent magnet generators and full power electronic converters. These systems provide benefits in terms of maintenance and efficiency, however, their fixed rotor excitation, provided by the permanent magnets, causes specific control challenges. Many transmission system...
