In this paper an off-grid hybrid energy system consisting of a reverse osmosis desalination plant for brackish water powered by renewable energy sources, and a diesel generator as back-up will be described. The whole system serves as a prototype for testing new automatic control methods to increase the plant reliability, which is crucial in remote arid areas. The necessary steps for the design of...
As the wind power penetration is increasing rapidly into the power grid, modern gird codes require the wind turbines (WTs) to possess the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability. In order to evaluate the performance of a WT under grid fault conditions, a voltage sag generator (VSG) is needed to simulate all kinds of grid faults. This paper investigates a three-phase programmable VSG based on a...
This paper presents low voltage ride through (LVRT) characteristics analysis of variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) driving a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The VSWT-PMSG is becoming very popular these days in wind power application. In some recent studies, the transient stability and LVRT characteristic of VSWT-PMSG has been reported using different types of symmetrical and unsymmetrical...
Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) are commonly utilized in wind farms nowadays due to their advantages as compared with single fed ones. Control complexities and their unique dynamic characteristics may, however, raise different problems during abnormal or faulty operating conditions. Accordingly, the behavior of the associated protective elements at the Point of Common Coupling Point (PCC)...
This paper presents a new particle swarm optimization based corrective strategy to alleviate overloads of transmission lines. A direct acyclic graph (DAG) technique for selection of participating generators and buses with respect to a contingency is presented. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique has been employed for generator rescheduling and/or load shedding problem locally, to restore the...
Like conventional power plants, wind power plants must provide the power quality required to ensure the stability & reliability of the power system. Increasing amount of wind turbine are connected to electrical power system in order to mitigate the negative environmental consequence of conventional electricity generation. While connecting wind turbine to grid it is important to understand source...
In recent years, the proportion of the wind power in the grid is increasing rapidly. When the grids faults results in voltage decline, the widespread tripping of wind generators could lead to transient instabilities and local or overall blackouts. So it is concerned that the wind turbines merge into the grid and the request of the low voltage ride through (LVRT) ability is proposed. This paper analysises...
A detailed dynamic model of wind driven doubly fed induction generator system has been developed. The various converter controls have been identified and their order in enhancing the dynamic performance has been established through Hankel singularity value indices and also residue evaluations. Damping controller structure and most effective input to the controller have been determined using the controllability...
The real-time fault diagnosis system is very great important for steam turbine generator set due to a serious fault results in a reduced amount of electricity supply in power plant. A novel real-time fault diagnosis system is proposed by using strata hierarchical fuzzy CMAC neural network. A framework of the fault diagnosis system is described. Hierarchical fault diagnostic structure is discussed...
This paper presents an effective control methodology for sustaining the transient frequency stability of power islands with excess of generation. This controller selects the proper generation that needs to be tripped on the event of uncontrolled disconnection of this type of areas from the rest of the system following cascading failures. The proposed case study is the Thames Estuary (a heavy generating...
The increasing penetration level of wind farms in power system network requires better understanding of short-term voltage stability and ride through capability before their interconnection to grid. The future wind turbines must stay connected irrespective of any type of disturbance in grid. To achieve reliable operation and control, the wind turbines must be actively controlled in order to meet the...

Also, a pitch control system is used for stabilization of the wind turbine at grid faults. Application of Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) and static capacitor bank is...
In a fault-tolerant power system the failures must be detected and isolated saving the operational state of the system. So we propose a model for performance evaluation of the automations from a power system. Fail safe behavior of the automation system is modeled and fuzzy safety measures are computed for the most significant automations types. The automatic closing reserve is a very important automation...
In the future, with the high penetration level of the distributed generation, their decoupling from network during the fault will eventually cause critical consequences. In order to avoid such situation, it is necessary to perform the transient stability analysis. The paper investigates the hybrid methods for fast transient stability assessment which are able to detect quickly the loss of stability...
A novel control strategy for the operation of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based stand alone variable speed wind turbine is presented in this paper. The direct drive PMSG is connected to the load through a switch mode rectifier and a vector controlled pulse width modulated (PWM) IGBT-inverter. The generator side switch mode rectifier is controlled to achieve maximum power from the...
Permanent magnet synchronous generation (PMSG) has been more and more used in the wind power generation system due to its advantage of simpler structure, higher generation efficiency and more reliable operation. However, the behavior of wind power system during grid disturbances becomes more important with an increasing amount of wind energy installed. Nowadays the grid code demands that the wind...
This paper addresses some of the most significant challenges for wind generation facilities, including voltage control, reactive power management, dynamic power-swing stability, and behavior following disturbances in the power grid. This advanced hierarchical control of both real and reactive power output can provide dynamic performance that is, superior to that achievable with modern conventional...
A grid connected power generation systems based on the superior controllers of an active and reactive power are useless during a grid failures like grid short-circuit or line braking. Therefore the change of operation mode from grid connection to stand alone allows for uninterruptible supply of a selected part of grid connected load. However, in the stand alone operation mode the superior controllers...
