Future research directions for the wind turbine generator system

“…That is why, it is very important to use the energy storage system (ESS) for a reliable WECS. The available energy storage technologies are battery energy storage (BES) [85][86][87][88], superconductive magnetic energy storage (SMES) [89][90][91][92][93], capacitor energy storage (CES) [94], pumped hydro energy storage [95], fly wheel energy storage [96], hydrogen storage system [97], etc. There is also application of combined energy storage systems [98,99].…”

Smart Loads for Improving the Fault-Ride-Through Capability of Fixed-Speed Wind Generators in Microgrids

“…Methods, such as energy storage system [8], unified power quality controller (UPQC) [9], series static var compensator (SSVC) [10], and static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) [11] have been well documented to improve the FRT capability of power grids and beyond. Out of these approaches, centralized STATCOM has been proved to be a better choice in supporting the WTGS during both symmetric and asymmetric system faults [11]- [14]. However, large-size STATCOMs connected at the transmission or sub-transmission levels cannot guarantee even compensation outcome along one transmission network [15].…”

Optimum Resistive Type Fault Current Limiter: An Efficient Solution to Achieve Maximum Fault Ride-Through Capability of Fixed-Speed Wind Turbines During Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Grid Faults

“…Nowadays, the large capacity of the VSWT is employed on the power network. But a large number of FSWTs has also been installed over the past decades and more will continue to be installed due to the low cost of installation and maintenance, as well as their reliable and robust characteristics [8,[12][13][14]. Furthermore, squirrel cage induction generators (SCIGs), as a WECS, are utilized to connect the FSWT directly to the grid.…”
