Download or read book Real time Digital Control of DFIG based Wind Generators for Grid Support written by Mohsen Mesbah and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, a set of new converter /control techniques are developed for the Grid Side and Rotor Side converter applications in DFIG wind power generation. A real time digital simulation technique is also presented which is capable of studying in real time the performance of the DFIG wind power generator connected to grid. A number of practical control strategies for DFIGs are implemented and their performances are compared. Results show that a new improved direct power controller is able to provide very quick transient response for both the active power and the reactive power output from the DFIG wind energy conversion system. Extensive simulations and practical implementation of the algorithms on a digital controller embedded inside a digital signal processor are implemented. The hardware and software of the developed prototype DFIG control mechanism is described in detail in this dissertation. In addition, to study the effect of voltage sag and other types of transient disturbances and faults, a prototype of a fault generator using the same digital signal processor has been implemented. Effect of such disturbances on a transformer is investigated which is the nearest most probable location of a grid fault or disturbance.

Book Performance of DFIG and PMSG Wind Turbines

Download or read book Performance of DFIG and PMSG Wind Turbines written by Kenneth E Okedu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to environmental pollution and climate change, the use of renewable energy sources as an alternative means of power generation is on the rise globally. This is because of their clean nature, which makes them ecofriendly with little or no pollution compared to the traditional fossil fuel power-generation power plants. Among the various renewable energy sources, wind energy is one of the most widely employed, due to its promising technology. Wind turbine technologies could be classified into two groups as follows: Fixed Speed Wind Turbines (FSWTs) and Variable Speed Wind Turbines (VSWTs). There have been tremendous improvements in wind turbine technology over the years, from FSWTs to VSWTs, as a result of fast innovations and advanced developments in power electronics. Thus, the VSWTs have better wind energy capture and conversion efficiencies, less acoustic noise and mechanical stress, and better power quality in power grids without support from external reactive power compensators due to the stochastic nature of wind energy. The two most widely employed VSWTs in wind farm development are the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) and the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) wind turbines. In order to solve transient stability intricacies during power grid faults, this book proposes different control strategies for the DFIG and PMSG wind turbines.

Book DFIG based Wind Power Conversion System Connected to Grid

Download or read book DFIG based Wind Power Conversion System Connected to Grid written by Akshay Kumar and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: 7.8, Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, course: M.Tech, language: English, abstract: Wind generation has become the most important alternate energy source and has experienced increased progress in India during the past decade. While it has great potential as an alternative to less environmentally friendly energy sources, there are various technical challenges that cause wind to be considered negatively by many utilities. Wind energy conversion systems suffer from the fact that their real power generation is closely dependent on the local environmental conditions. The Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind turbine with variable-speed variable-pitch control scheme is the most popular wind power generator in the wind power industry. This machine can be operated either in grid connected or standalone mode. In this thesis, a detailed electromechanical model of a DFIG-based wind turbine connected to power grid as well as separately operated wind turbine system with different sub-systems is developed in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and its equivalent generator and turbine control structure is realized. In this regard following configurations have been considered: • DFIG with Battery storage sub-system • DFIG with Buck-Boost converter • DFIG with transformer • DFIG with 3-winding transformer Addition of battery storage and buck-boost converter sub-systems into the system enables not only dispatching of generator power but also decreases the variability in their reactive power requirements. The full control over both active and reactive power is possible by the use of transformer between DFIG and rotor side converter. The steady state behavior of the overall wind turbine system is presented and the steady state reactive power ability of the DFIG is analyzed. It has been shown that major part of the reactive power should be supplied from rotor side converter to reduce the overall rating of the generator. The DFIG with above mentioned sub-systems is connected to grid. The total harmonic distortion analysis and efficiency are carried out. It is found that DFIG with transformer in between machine and rotor side converter has lowest THD (2.29%) and DFIG with 3-winding transformer has maximum efficiency (above 93%).

This book was released on 2013-02-06 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - Power Engineering, grade: none, , course: Electrical engineering (Renewable energy), language: English, abstract: Wind electrical power systems are recently getting lot of attention, because they are cost competitive, environmental clean and safe renewable power source, as compared with fossil fuel and nuclear power generation. A special type of induction generator, called a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), is used extensively for high-power wind applications. They are used more and more in wind turbine applications due to ease controllability, high energy efficiency and improved power quality. This thesis aims to develop a method of a field orientation scheme for control both the active and reactive powers of a DFIG driven by a wind turbine.The proposed control system consists of a wind turbine that drives a DFIG connected to the utility grid through AC-DC-AC link. The main control objective is to regulate the dc link voltage for operation at maximum available wind power.This is achieved by controlling the and axes components of voltages and currents for both rotor side and line side converters using PI controllers. The complete dynamic model of the proposed system is described in detail. Computer simulations have been carried out in order to validate the effectiveness of the proposed system during the variation of wind speed. The results prove that , better overall performances are achieved, quick recover from wind speed disturbances in addition to good tracking ability. Generally, any abnormalities associated with grid asymmetrical faults are going to affect the system performance considerably. During grid faults, unbalanced currents cause negative effects like overheating problems and mechanical stress due to high torque pulsations that can damage the rotor shaft, gearbox or blade assembly. Therefore, the dynamic model of the DFIG, driven by a wind turbine during grid faults has been analyzed and developed using the method of symmetrical components. The dynamic performance of the DFIG during unbalanced grid conditions is analyzed and described in detail using digital simulations. A novel fault ride-through (FRT) capability is proposed (i.e. the ability of the power system to remain connected to the grid during faults) with suitable control strategy in this thesis. In this scheme, the input mechanical energy of the wind turbine during grid faults is stored and utilized at the moment of fault clearance, instead of being dissipated in the resistors of the crowbar circuit as in the existing FRT schemes.

Book Advanced Control of Variable Speed Wind Turbine Based on Doubly fed Induction Generator

Download or read book Advanced Control of Variable Speed Wind Turbine Based on Doubly fed Induction Generator written by Lei Wang and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the modeling, control and analysis of doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) based wind turbines (DFIG-WT). The DFIG-WT is one of the mostly employed wind power generation systems (WPGS), due to its merits including variable speed operation for achieving the maximum power conversion, smaller capacity requirement for power electronic devices, and full controllability of active and reactive powers of the DFIG. The dynamic modeling of DFIG-WT has been carried out at first in Chapter 2, with the conventional vector control (VC) strategies for both rotor-side and grid-side converters. The vector control strategy works in a synchronous reference frame, aligned with the stator-flux vector, became very popular for control of the DFIG. Although the conventional VC strategy is simple and reliable, it is not capable of providing a satisfactory transient response for DFIG-WT under grid faults. As the VC is usually designed and optimized based on one operation point, thus the overall energy conversion efficiency cannot be maintained at the optimal point when the WPGS operation point moves away from that designed point due to the time-varying wind power inputs. Compared with VC methods which are designed based on linear model obtained from one operation point, nonlinear control methods can provide consistent optimal performance across the operation envelope rather than at one operation point. To improve the asymptotical regulation provided by the VC, which can't provide satisfactory performance under voltage sags caused by grid faults or load disturbance of the grid, input-output feedback linearization control (IOFLC) has been applied to develop a fully decoupled controller of the active $\&$ reactive powers of the DFIG in Chapter 3. Furthermore, a cascade control strategy is proposed for power regulation of DFIG-WT, which can provide better performance against the varying operation points and grid disturbance. Moreover, to improve the overall energy conversion efficiency of the DFIG-WT, FLC-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) has been investigated. The main objective of the FLC-based MPPT in Chapter 4 is to design a global optimal controller to deal with the time-varying operation points and nonlinear characteristic of the DFIG-WT. Modal analysis and simulation studies have been used to verify the effectiveness of the FLC-based MPPT, compared with the VC. The system mode trajectory, including the internal zero-dynamic of the FLC-MPPT are carefully examined in the face of varied operation ranges and parameter uncertainties. In a realistic DFIG-WT, the parameter variability, the uncertain and time-varying wind power inputs are existed. To enhance the robustness of the controller, a nonlinear adaptive controller (NAC) via state and perturbation observer for feedback linearizable nonlinear systems is applied for MPPT control of DFIG-WT in Chapter 5. In the design of the controller, a perturbation term is defined to describe the combined effect of the system nonlinearities and uncertainties, and represented by introducing a fictitious state in the state equations. As follows, a state and perturbation observer is designed to estimate the system states and perturbation, leading to an adaptive output-feedback linearizing controller which uses the estimated perturbation to cancel system perturbations and the estimated states to implement a linear output feedback control law for the equivalent linear system. Case studies including with and without wind speed measurement are carried out and proved that the proposed NAC for MPPT of DFIG-WT can provide better robustness performance against the parameter uncertainties. Simulation studies for demonstrating the performance of the proposed control methods in each chapter, are carried out based on MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Book Robust Control Techniques for DFIG Driven WECS with Improved Efficiency

Download or read book Robust Control Techniques for DFIG Driven WECS with Improved Efficiency written by Ifte Khairul Amin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind energy has emerged as one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources since mid-80's due to its low cost and environmentally friendly nature compared to conventional fossil fuel based power generation. Current technologies for the design and implementation of wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) include induction generator and synchronous generator based units. The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is chosen in this thesis because of its economic operation, ability to regulate in sub-synchronous or super-synchronous speed and decoupled control of active and reactive powers. Among the major challenges of wind energy conversion system, extraction of maximum power from intermittent generation and supervision on nonlinear system dynamics of DFIG-WECS are of critical importance. Maximization of the power produced by wind turbine is possible by optimizing tip-speed ratio (TSR), turbine rotor speed or torque and blade angle. The literature reports that a vast number of investigations have been conducted on the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of wind turbines. Among the reported MPPT control algorithms, the hill climb search (HCS) method is typically preferred because of its simple implementation and turbine parameter-independent scheme. Since the conventional HCS algorithm has few drawbacks such as power fluctuation and speed-efficiency trade-off, a new adaptive step size based HCS controller is developed in this thesis to mitigate its deficiencies by incorporating wind speed measurement in the controller. In addition, a common practice of using linear state-feedback controllers is prevalent in speed and current control of DFIG-based WECS. Traditional feedback linearization controllers are sensitive to system parameter variations and disturbances on grid-connected WECS, which demands advanced control techniques for stable and efficient performance considering the nonlinear system dynamics. An adaptive backstepping based nonlinear control (ABNC) scheme with iron-loss minimization algorithm for RSC control of DFIG is developed in this research work to obtain improved dynamic performance and reduced power loss. The performance of the proposed controller is tested and compared with the benchmark tuned proportional-integral (PI) controller under different operating conditions including variable wind speed, grid voltage disturbance and parameter uncertainties. Test results demonstrate that the proposed method exhibits excellent performance on the rotor side and grid side converter control. In addition, the compliance with the modern grid-code requirements is achieved by featuring a novel controller with disturbance rejection mechanism. In order to reduce the dependency on system's mathematical model, a low computational adaptive network fuzzy interference system (ANFIS) based neuro-fuzzy logic controller (NFC) scheme is developed for DFIG based WECS. The performance of the proposed NFC based DFIG-WECS is tested in simulation to regulate both grid and rotor side converters under normal and voltage dip conditions. Furthermore, a new optimization technique known as grey wolf optimization (GWO) is also designed to regulate the battery power for DFIG driven wind energy system operating in standalone mode. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes, simulation models are designed using Matlab/Simulink. The proposed model for MPPT and nonlinear control of grid-connected mode and GWO based power control of standalone DFIG-WECS has been successfully implemented in the real-time environment using DSP controller board DS1104 for a laboratory 480 VA DFIG. The comparison among different controllers suggests that each control technique has its own specialty in wind power control application with specific merits and shortcomings. However, the PI controller provides fast convergence, the ANFIS based NFC controller has better adaptability under grid disturbances and ABNC has moderate performance. Overall, the thesis provides a detailed overview of different robust control techniques for DFIG driven WECS in grid-connected and standalone operation mode with practical implementation.
