Abstract:Emphasis in this article is on the design of a co‐ordinated voltage control strategy for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines that enhances their capability to provide grid support during grid faults. In contrast to its very good performance in normal operation, the DFIG wind turbine concept is quite sensitive to grid faults and requires special power converter protection. The fault ride‐through and grid support capabilities of the DFIG address therefore primarily the design of DFIG wind turbine… Show more
“…This raises problems in terms of generator/converter protection and control. In the case of grid faults, the controllability of the DFIG variable speed wind turbine embraces both the wind turbine control for preventing over speeding of the wind turbine and the control and protection of the power converter during and after grid faults [6]. Figure 1 shows the main components of the DFIG wind turbine system configuration [6], [7]:…”

“…The pitch angle control, in Figure 1, is realized by a PI controller with anti wind up, using a servomechanism model with limitation of both the pitch angle and its rate-of-change [6]. In the present work, the pitch angle control is implemented in such a way that the pitch angle controls the generator speed, i.e.…”

“…This simplified aerodynamic model is typically based on a two dimensional aerodynamic torque coefficient table [3], provided by a standard aerodynamic program. The pitch angle control, in Figure 1, is realised by a PI controller with antiwind-up, using a servomechanism model with limitation of both the pitch angle and its rate-of-change [6]. In the present work, the pitch angle control is implemented in such a way that the pitch angle controls the generator speed, i.e.…”
Abstract:-This paper deals with the design of a voltage control strategy for DFIG wind turbines. The performance of the represented DFIG protection and control strategy during grid faults is assess and discussed by means of simulation of large DFIG wind farm connected to a power transmission system generic model .
“…The grid-side converter is not blocked at a grid fault and continues its operation as a STATCOM. The controllability is thus improved providing the DFIG with grid voltage support in uninterrupted operation during the transient instant, [17]. The voltage control is also activated in the rotor side converter control system, thus the wind farm manages to provide with additional reactive power supporting the grid voltage.…”
Abstract-Dynamic security of autonomous power systems has become a challenge due to increasing levels of wind penetration during the last years. The special features of non-interconnected power systems make security issues rather critical and operation of wind farms as conventional power plants is becoming a necessity as wind turbines replace conventional units in the production side. This paper describes the study case of Rhodes island, in Greece, where rapidly increasing wind penetration has started to impose serious security issues for the immediate future.
