Symmetrical Short-Circuit Parameters Comparison of DFIG–WT

Abstract

Renewable energy with new resources is depleting the fossil fuel-based energy resources. Renewable energy sources (such as wind energy) based power generators are important energy conversion machines and have widely industrial and commercial applications due to their superior performance, and the fact that they endure faults well and are environmentally friendly. The study of the transient behavior of such generators under fault condition has drawn much attention. This study presents Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) perturbation during a symmetrical (three-phase) short circuit (SSC) at different points. Simulation results reveal that after a fault occurs, there is decay of SC parameters (transient time, maximum current, steady-state and voltage dip) at the point of common coupling (PCC) and the grid-side converter (GSC) of DFIG. Simulation results depict a more sensitive and robust point during a SSC of DFIG. Current findings present the main difference between the PCC and the GSC during SSC faults. These comparisons provide a more precise understanding of fault diagnosis reliability with reduced complexity, stability, and optimization of the system. This study verified by the simulation results helps us understand and improve the performance of sensor sensibility (measurements), develop control schemes, protection strategy and select a more accurate and proficient system among other wind energy conversion systems (WECS).

A New Efficient Step-Up Boost Converter with CLD Cell for Electric Vehicle and New Energy Systems

“…In recent years, due to the shortage of fossil fuels, research on renewable energy sources such as photovoltaic PV, wind, and fuel cells (FC), has gained immense popularity [1,2]. The intermittency associated with PV systems and low voltages at load end and electric vehicle (EV) or hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) charging needs a boost converter as depicted in Figures 1 and 2 [3][4][5]. Generally, EVs are powered by fuel cell stacks, supercapacitors, and battery systems.…”

Metaheuristic searching genetic algorithm based reliability assessment of hybrid power generation system

“…Consequently, the un-concentrated supply of wind power sources further complicates the reliability evaluation process (Billinton et al., 2012; Madaeni et al., 2012; Zhang et al., 2019). Therefore, new equipment are required for assessing generation systems with a large penetration of wind energy sources (Shahzad et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2019; Nazir et al, (2020)).…”

An Investigation of the Influences of the Voltage Sag on the Doubly Fed Induction Generator using Tuned PI Controllers

“…In recent years, using wind energy for generating electricity is growing fast because it is an important source of renewable energy [1]. With increasing penetration level of wind energy into the network, wind turbine should remain connected to the grid to maintain the reliability during various grid fault scenarios based on grid codes' requirement [2]. DFIG is predominantly used nowadays in the wind turbines.…”
