A Brief Review of Smart Control of Renewable Energy Power Generation

Abstract

The smart control strategy in the operation of renewable energy station is of great significance to alleviating the shortage of fossil energy, improving the efficiency of renewable energy utilization and the safe operation of power system. Firstly, this paper took the renewable energy stations represented by wind and solar energy as the research object, summarized the smart control strategy of single unit power generation, and elaborate introduced the mechanical structure control, maximum power point tracking control and virtual synchronous machine control in electrical converter level. Secondly, the self-protection control of renewable energy power generation station in the case of power system faults were analysed. The key issues involved in the low voltage ride-through, high voltage ride-through, protection circuit of rotor side, stator side and converters were summarized. Thus, a brief overview of smart control of renewable energy station operation is presented in this paper, hoping to provide technical guide for prosperous development of renewable energy in the future.
