Download or read book Study of Power Quality Issues in Grid Connected Wind Farms written by T. Magesh and published by Independent Author. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demand for electricity is increasing day by day and the power utilities are now exploring various alternatives for increasing the generation of electricity to meet the increased demand. Increasing the generation of electricity using fossil fuels leads to increased atmospheric pollution mainly due to the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2). Minimization of green house effect by reducing CO2 and other emissions is a challenging issue today. Alternate energy sources, on the other hand, are gaining popularity over the conventional energy sources as they are environment friendly. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy, help in reducing the dependence on fossil fuels thereby reducing the green house gas emissions. Wind energy generation systems are becoming more popular, nowadays, as they are the most competitive and environment friendly. Large numbers of wind turbines are erected around the world and many projects are under progress. In 1980s, wind turbine power ratings were few tens of kilowatts only whereas today, wind turbine ratings are in megawatts.

This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Windmills have been used for at least 3000 years, mainly for grinding grain or pumping water, while in sailing ships the wind has been an essential source of power for even longer. From as early as the thirteenth century, horizontal-axis windmills were an integral part of the rural economy and only fell into disuse with the advent of cheap fossil-fuelled engines and then the spread of rural electrification. To use wind energy efficiently and to concentrate the visual impact of modem wind turbines, the regions with a good wind climate, a tendency to group turbines in wind farms can be observed. These wind farms are connected to high voltage transmission grids and thus directly influence the dynamic behavior of the electrical power system [1]. Modern electricity-generating wind turbines now use three-bladed upwind rotors although two-bladed, and even one-bladed, rotors were used in earlier commercial turbines. Reducing the number of blades means that the rotor has to operate at a higher rotational speed in order to extract the wind energy from wind turbine. Initially these turbines were small, sometimes rated at only 30 kW, but were developed over the next 15 years to around 40-m diameter, 800-1,000 kW. However, by the mid-1990s it was becoming clear that for larger wind turbines it would be necessary to move away from this simple architecture and to use a number of the advanced concepts (e.g. variable-speed operation, pitch regulation, advanced materials) that had been investigated in the earlier research work. Large wind turbines are up to 100 m in diameter, rated at 3 to 4 MW are used. Most of the largest wind turbines now being installed operate at variable-speed, as the power electronic converters also allow much greater control of the output power and it is easier to comply with the requirements of the power system network operator.

Download or read book Wind Energy Systems written by Mohd. Hasan Ali and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike conventional power plants, wind plants emit no air pollutants or greenhouse gases—and wind energy is a free, renewable resource. However, the induction machines commonly used as wind generators have stability problems similar to the transient stability of synchronous machines. To minimize power, frequency, and voltage fluctuations caused by network faults or random wind speed variations, control mechanisms are necessary. Wind Energy Systems: Solutions for Power Quality and Stabilization clearly explains how to solve stability and power quality issues of wind generator systems. Covering fundamental concepts of wind energy conversion systems, the book discusses several means to enhance the transient stability of wind generator systems. It also explains the methodologies for minimizing fluctuations of power, frequency, and voltage. Topics covered include: An overview of wind energy and wind energy conversion systems Fundamentals of electric machines and power electronics Types of wind generator systems Challenges in integrating wind power into electricity grids Solutions for power quality problems Methods for improving transient stability during network faults Methods for minimizing power fluctuations of variable-speed wind generator systems This accessible book helps researchers and engineers understand the relative effectiveness of each method and select a suitable tool for wind generator stabilization. It also offers students an introduction to wind energy conversion systems, providing insights into important grid integration and stability issues.

Book excerpt: This part of IEC 61400 includes: definition and specification of the quantities to be determined for characterizing the power quality of a grid connected wind turbine; measurement procedures for quantifying the characteristics; procedures for assessing compliance with power quality requirements, including estimation of the power quality expected from the wind turbine type when deployed at a specific site, possibly in groups. The measurement procedures are valid for single wind turbines with a three-phase grid connection. The measurement procedures are valid for any size of wind turbine, though this part of IEC 61400 only requires wind turbine types intended for PCC (Point of Common Coupling) at MV or HV to be tested and characterized as specified in this part of IEC 61400. The measured characteristics are valid for the specific configuration and operational mode of the assessed wind turbine type only. Other configurations, including altered control parameters that cause the wind turbine to behave differently with respect to power quality, require separate assessment. The measurement procedures are designed to be as non-site-specific as possible, so that power quality characteristics measured at for example a test site can be considered valid also at other sites. The procedures for assessing compliance with power quality requirements are valid for wind turbines with PCC at MV or HV in power systems with fixed frequency within ±1 Hz, and sufficient active and reactive power regulation capabilities. In other cases, the principles for assessing compliance with power quality requirements may still be used as a guidance. This part of IEC 61400 is for testing of wind turbines, though it contains information that may also be useful for testing of wind farms.
