While smart grid disturbances are inevitable, their effects can be minimized through intelligent power management and control. SmartParks (large numbers of electric vehicles capable of performing bidirectional power transactions) or energy storage systems can be used to improve the transient stability of a smart grid with wind farms when faults are experienced. In this paper, the speed oscillations...
Among other functions, the smart grid is a vehicle to maximize the penetration of wind power by exploiting the use of energy storage devices in order to maximize the utilization of renewable energy and bring about maximum reduction in emissions. Large number of electric vehicles in a parking lot enabled to carry out vehicle-to-grid (V2G) transactions has been termed as a ‘SmartPark’ by the author...
The smart electric power grid will evolve into a very complex adaptive system under semi-autonomous distributed control. It will be spatially and temporally complex, non-convex, non-linear and non-stationary, with lots of variability and uncertainties beyond what the traditional power system experiences today. The distributed integration of intermittent sources of energy and energy storage to a power...
Variations in wind speed cause different transient responses in a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)-based wind farm. Transients during grid disturbances, depending on controller parameters, can lead to a system collapse, especially when significant fluctuations exist in wind speed despite the presence of SmartParks (energy storage). When a fault is introduced, the variable frequency converter...
Power electronic-based FACTS devices such as STATCOMs are sometimes essential for voltage support in transmission networks. They can also be used for continuous operation of doubly-fed induction generator-based wind turbines during faults. However, these devices are quite expensive and therefore cannot be used extensively. This paper explores the potential of a low-cost solution that utilizes the...
