A Study of the Impacts Caused by Unbalanced Voltage (2%) in Isolated Synchronous Generators

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the oscillations caused by unbalanced loads in salient pole synchronous generators that operate in isolation under steady state. The oscillatory disturbances, arising from the second-order harmonics, may have or have the potential to cause electromechanical damage to the salient pole synchronous generator. In this paper, the goal is to identify and quantify the magnitude of the electromagnetic torque, which assumes an oscillatory form due to the current component from the negative sequence, caused by unbalanced currents. The self-same analysis was included for second-harmonic voltage oscillations in the qd0 domain, the currents induced on the damper windings together with the oscillation of the load angle and on the field current. These oscillations situated on the synchronous generator are analyzed for a degree of voltage unbalance close to 2% which is an acceptable value according to international regulations for power supply from distribution networks, and this same degree of tolerated voltage unbalance will be used herein for isolated synchronous generators.

Neural Network and Fuzzy Control Based 11-Level Cascaded Inverter Operation

“…The capability of generating multilevel voltage outputs facilitates the direct integration of the HES to the grid without requiring additional devices [10]. As compared to conventional inverters, MLI provides attractive features like increased voltage levels, smaller filter size, lower electromagnetic interfaces (EMIs), and lesser harmonic currents [11]. However, compared to CHBI, the DCI and FCI require more components such as a diode, and capacitors to generate more voltage levels and lesser harmonic current.…”

Mathematical Morphology-Based Artificial Technique for Renewable Power Application

“…To overcome the PR issues, many researchers suggest various improved control methods for the operation of grid-connected double fed induction generator (DFIG) based WPS. From the literature, few important techniques such as the field-oriented control (FOC) or vector control (VC) approaches are widely applied for similar applications [10,11]. However, during the transient system conditions, the above-mentioned well-known strategies lag their performance due to the excess use of intricate decoupling methods and coordinate transformation.…”
