As a result of increase in the installed capacity of wind power systems around the world, providing Low Voltage Ride-Through is one of the prime requirements of Grid Codes. Wind farms are now required to comply with stringent connection requirements which include remaining connected during grid faults, providing reactive power support, achieving system stability and voltage regulation. The paper analyzes...
In recent decades wind energy has gained great prominence in various parts of the world, resulting in the emergence of new technologies to improve its efficiency. Thus, this paper presents a technique for maximizing the power extracted from the wind by a variable speed wind turbine through measurements of voltage and current at the three-phase rectifier terminals, establishing its rotor speed control...
As wind penetration levels on power systems increase worldwide, the dynamic characteristics of these systems are changing due to the displacement of synchronous generation. One issue, of particular concern, is the resulting reduction in system inertia. Modern, variable speed wind turbines are controlled by power electronics and so do not inherently contribute to the inertial response of the system...
The increasing penetration of modern wind plants may cause primary frequency regulation to fall below acceptable levels, especially in isolated grids. This paper investigates the contribution of variable speed wind generators to short-term frequency support. First, the extractable inertial power from a DFIG wind turbine is quantified. Based on that, a controller is designed to transiently release...
Due to irregular wind velocity, the output power of a wind turbine generator system (WTGS) is fluctuated. There are many methods to propose to generate smooth output power of a wind turbine. For example, energy storage devices, electric double layer capacitors, flywheels are well-known. But these methods are required a significant extra cost for installation and maintenance. In recent years, some...
This paper presents an assessment of the kinetic energy reserve that could be made available by aggregating a distributed group of wind farms. The size of reserve available for a single turbine and the range of wind speeds where it can be assumed available is computed and compared with the kinetic energy delivered by synchronous generators during typical transients. The size and availability of an...
This paper introduces definitions and an analysis method for estimating how much kinetic energy can be made available for inertial response from a wind turbine over a year, and how much energy capture must be sacrificed to do so. The analysis is based on the static characteristics of wind turbines, Weibull distributions of wind speed, and standard definitions of turbulence intensity. A control scheme...
This paper proposes a new maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for PMSG (permanent magnet synchronous generator) wind turbine systems, which gives a fast and effective tracking performance. For torque control, the torque reference consists of two parts, in which one is made from the rotor speed and the other comes from the system inertia. The PSIM simulation results for a 2[MW] PMSG wind...
Wind energy conversion systems have become important in the research of renewable energy sources. This is not a small part due to the rapid advances in the size of wind generators as well as the development of power electronics and their applicability in wind energy extraction. However, wind energy has a drawback of having only 1/800 density as compared to that of water energy, and it does not remain...
New control systems for Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWT) need to be developed in order to provide inertia response and frequency control to support the grid. This work studies the behavior and capability of VSWT for providing temporary active power overproduction. The study is conducted on a multi-megawatt VSWT with Doubly-Fed Induction Generator. It was found that it is possible to have an active...
