The growing trend of using wind turbines makes challenges to supply safe power to the power system. In fact, the fault ride through (FRT) capability of wind turbines is a serious phenomenon in their safe operation. In this paper, a new control method is proposed to improve the capability of wind farms in asymmetrical fault conditions. This method is based on releasing computed reactive power by the static compensator (STATCOM) to the grid during the fault to overcome the deep voltage of the point of common coupling (PCC). Although there are many studies to control wind turbines in fault condition using STATCOM, the main strength point of this study is the appropriate performance of the proposed system in asymmetrical faults. This feature is operated and simulated on 14 Bus standard grid to investigate the appropriate operation of a wind farm in a real grid. Also, by controlling the reactive power, preventing deep voltage collapse is achieved during the fault. Also, the wind turbine, STATCOM, and their control systems are formulated, modeled, and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Energy is a cornerstone for achieving industrial development and prosperous economy. Wind energy has the biggest share of renewable energy sector in many countries leading the way for replacing fossil fuels. Egypt, as one of the developing countries, is heading towards increasing penetration levels of wind power to face energy challenges. This strategy takes advantage of the investigated high potential of wind energy in several locations across Egypt. In order to gain most benefits and economical revenues from wind energy, a national research and development policies have to be deployed. Effective research policies enhance the capabilities of local industry for wind power technology. This review characterises current progress and categorises areas of interest for recent research of wind energy in Egypt. Accordingly, a vision for existing gaps, futuristic directions and promising areas for research is formulated.

“…Several flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) with different control approaches have been proposed to improve the overall performance of WECS [18]. The applications of FACTS devices such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) [19], [20], static voltage compensator (SVC) [21] and unified power flow controller (UPFC) [22], [23] in WECS have been introduced in the literatures. For instance, a STATCOM with prominent control algorithm using proportion-integral (PI) and fuzzy logic controllers is introduced in [17].…”

Wind energy is one of the premier renewable energy sources that have gained popularity during the last decade. Among the currently available wind energy conversion systems (WECS), doubly fed induction generator-based technology has been widely employed due to its superior advantageous. The key features of the DFIG-based WECS include its ability to capture more wind energy and support the grid with large reactive power during short disturbance events. On the other hand, DFIG is very sensitive to grid faults which affect its fault ride through (FRT) capability. Furthermore, extreme wind gust even for short durations may lead to the violation of the low voltage ride through (LVRT) threshold limits set by worldwide transmission line operators. This situation cannot be mitigated by the turbine blades pitch controller since the response of the pitch mechanical control is much slower than the rapid dynamic change in the wind speed during short duration of wind gust events. While DFIG FRT capability has been discussed in several papers in the literature, not much attention was given to the mitigation of the effects of extreme wind gust of short duration on the DFIG performance. In this paper, the effect of various levels of wind gust on the performance of a DFIG-based wind energy conversion grid-connected system is investigated and mitigated using a new controller for superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit. A combination of hysteresis current and fuzzy logic controllers is employed to control the voltage source converter and the DC-DC chopper interfacing the SMES coil with the investigated system. Simulation results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed SMES controller that can be easily implemented within existing as well as new WECS installations.INDEX TERMS Doubly fed induction generator, low voltage ride through, superconducting magnetic energy storage, wind gust.
