The paper presents a microgrid energy management strategy (MEMS) for a Medium-Voltage Isolated microgrid, which is China's 10kv island microgrid demonstration project to accommodate the increasing power needs of customers and solve problems of island power supply. When the SOC is restored in security zone, the energy storage system (ESS) would increase the sensitivity and adjust the maximum charging...
This paper presents a discrete time torque observer and an extended H∞ filter to estimate the rotor speed and position in a permanent magnet machine. Those estimated variables are key components of a robust sensorless controller for the machine when it is associated with a wind turbine emulator test-rig. In addition, an iterative maximum power point tracking algorithm is proposed for maximum efficiency...
Water heating applications consume a considerable portion of electricity demand in most of countries. Small wind turbines are one of attractive alternatives for grid electricity based water heating systems. Wind energy can be converted to heat energy in a high efficient manner. However it is essential that wind turbine based water heating systems should be economical and reliable. Maximum power point...
In this paper the modular multilevel converter (MMC) is proposed as the wind power converter for offshore dc grids. MMC has been widely used for high-power high-voltage applications, and it is able to connect a low ac voltage source to a high dc voltage source, which makes it a promising solution for wind power converter in offshore wind farm dc grids. This paper presents the analysis and design of...
This paper presents an experimental investigation of network frequency stability controlled by wind power plants with doubly fed induction generators without supporting from other conventional power plants in the laboratory scale. The combination of kinetic energy and pitch control methods implemented by many wind turbines in a wind farm and coordinated by a wind farm control center is proposed in...
In this paper, a decentralised control approach for an innovative 5 MW wind turbine with a hydrostatic transmission is presented that covers the whole range from low to very high wind speeds. An active damping of tower oscillations is achieved by using the pitch angle as control input. An elastic multibody system is employed to derive a control-oriented model for the first tower bending mode, which...
Increasing worldwide demand for energy has made wind energy a forerunner as a renewable energy resource. Due to this, and due to the intermittent nature of wind, Wind Turbines (WT) reliability should be considered. Improving the reliability of a WT translates into reduced operation and maintenance cost. This highlights the aim of this paper which is a technical review on WTs critical failures as well...
The goal of this paper is to investigate the application of nonlinear control technique to a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear model of a wind energy battery-storage system using a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The challenge is that the system should operate in both grid-connected and standalone modes while ensuring a seamless transition between the two modes and an efficient...
