Back-to-back converters for wind turbine systems (WTS) feature capacitors in the DC-link to maintain a stable DC-link voltage and to decouple the generator from the grid. Electrolytic and film capacitors can be chosen to this purpose. Long-term field experience and recorded failure data reveal that capacitor failures are one of the main reasons for the downtime of WTS. The ripple current accelerates...
A Smart Transformers (ST) is an automated transformer based on the latest power electronics and communication technologies. It aims not only at replacing the traditional transformer, but at providing also ancillary services to the grid, thanks to the greater flexibility offered by power electronics. However, in the case of grid overload caused by high load demand or high production from renewable...
This paper presents simple and effective control strategies for the active rectifier stage (ac/dc stage) of a grid-connected low-power system for microwind applications employing permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). In particular, a novel algorithm for the estimation of the rotor angle of the PMSG, based on flux estimators, was implemented using an adaptive low-pass filter coupled with a...
