With increasing wind power in power systems, impact of wind generators on subsynchronous resonance (SSR) is of interest. Previous research has shown the impact of wind generation on SSR. In this paper, a control strategy is developed utilizing the power converters' control capability in a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine system. The control is realized through modulating the...
This paper presents a new method of using co-ordinated control and short term wind speed prediction to smooth the output of an array of wind turbines. The proposed controller uses knowledge of the kinetic energy storage potential in the rotor disc to allow production of piecewise static power outputs from variable wind inputs. Previous studies have shown that there are large peaks in wind power variability...
In urban areas, where land is costly, building integrated wind energy conversion systems can be embedded into the existing infrastructure to meet an increasing load demand. Recently small scale wind turbines (less than 10kw) are installed in great numbers on the roof-top of residential houses, commercial and high rising buildings. This paper presents an overview of the current technologies being implemented...
Increasing number of wind farms (WFs) connected to power systems calls for efficient aggregate models so that large farms can be represented by only few equivalent wind turbines for steady state and dynamic system studies. A wind power plant consists of many small generators inside a wind farm. Future wind projects predict even greater number of wind turbines inside a wind farm for increased capacity...
The speed of modern converter controlled wind turbines is almost completely decoupled from the grid frequency. Accordingly, wind turbines do not possess a natural response to frequency excursions. In this paper three different control concepts that enable wind turbines to participate on grid frequency control are introduced. The first uses pitch control together with the provision of reserve capacity...
A DFIG wind turbine is a variable-speed wind turbine widely used in modern wind power industry. The maximum power extraction of the turbine is affected by (1) electrical characteristics of the generator, (2) aerodynamic characteristics of the turbine blades, and (3) maximum power extraction control strategies. This paper presents a DFIG maximum power extraction study through integrated steady-state...
