Abstract:Wind farm has been growing in recent years due to its very competitive electricity production cost. Wind generators have gone from a few kilowatts to megawatts. However, the participation of the wind turbine in the stability of the electricity grid is a critical point to check, knowing that the electricity grid is meshed, any change in active and reactive flux at the network level affects its stability. With a rate of 50% wind turbine penetration into the electricity grid, the stability of the rotor angle is a… Show more

The study suggests a comprehensive approach to modeling and controlling variable-speed wind turbine systems that utilize doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs). To make sure that energy is transferred efficiently between the DFIG rotor and the grid, a two-level inverter with perfect bidirectional switches is used. Using the tip speed ratio algorithm and taking into consideration the randomness in wind speed, the maximum power at the wind turbine is optimized. Then, the control strategy utilizes direct power control (DPC) due to its various advantages. The advantages of employing this control technique are manifold. Firstly, it eliminates the necessity for rotor current control loops. Secondly, it obviates the need for controllers such as PI controllers to manage torque and flux. Furthermore, it has yielded exceptional simulation results when implementing direct power control (DPC) within the MATLAB/Simulink environment, specifically in the context of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind power system.

“…The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is a prominent conversion system used in many real wind turbine systems integrated to power grid networks [230,231]. This is particularly due to its ability to prevent delivery of disturbances to electrical networks by decoupling production between active and reactive power [232]. However, due to the voltage irregularities typical of renewable-integrated power networks, continued and optimal performance of wind turbine using DFIG is often a cause of concern, especially at a penetration rate beyond 50% where the stator angle is no longer stable [232].…”

Whenever there is a voltage dip in the power grid, connoting essentially a sudden and transient drop in amplitude of the RMS voltage affecting certain phases at some points in the power network, effects on DFIG performance often lead to the entire system being shut down as well as a potential damage to the generator.…”
This study is aimed at a succinct review of practical impacts of grid integration of renewable energy systems on effectiveness of power networks, as well as often employed state-of-the-art solution strategies. The renewable energy resources focused on include solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy and geothermal energy, as well as renewable hydrogen/fuel cells, which, although not classified purely as renewable resources, are a famous energy carrier vital for future energy sustainability. Although several world energy outlooks have suggested that the renewable resources available worldwide are sufficient to satisfy global energy needs in multiples of thousands, the different challenges often associated with practical exploitation have made this assertion an illusion to date. Thus, more research efforts are required to synthesize the nature of these challenges as well as viable solution strategies, hence, the need for this review study. First, brief overviews are provided for each of the studied renewable energy sources. Next, challenges and solution strategies associated with each of them at generation phase are discussed, with reference to power grid integration. Thereafter, challenges and common solution strategies at the grid/electrical interface are discussed for each of the renewable resources. Finally, expert opinions are provided, comprising a number of aphorisms deducible from the review study, which reveal knowledge gaps in the field and potential roadmap for future research. In particular, these opinions include the essential roles that renewable hydrogen will play in future energy systems; the need for multi-sectoral coupling, specifically by promoting electric vehicle usage and integration with renewable-based power grids; the need for cheaper energy storage devices, attainable possibly by using abandoned electric vehicle batteries for electrical storage, and by further development of advanced thermal energy storage systems (overviews of state-of-the-art thermal and electrochemical energy storage are also provided); amongst others.
“…Technological progress and the development of wind systems have encouraged their integration into the electrical system [1]. This considerable integration of the wind turbine into grid especially wind systems equipped with doubly feed induction generators (DFIG) [2], [3]. This dominance of DFIG is due to its advantages which are variable speed operation, the converters used are only sized at a fraction 25-30% of the DFIG power rated and the decoupled active and the reactive power control [4]− [8].…”
<span lang="EN-US">This paper presents a novel design and robust control for wind conversion systems using DFIG. The system is designed to reduce the problems related to the sudden variation of the wind speed and to improve the sensitivity of the DFIG to grid faults to avoid disconnection of the wind system from the electrical grid. To enhance the DFIG behavior, power fluctuation and to protect power devices under symmetrical faults, a specific superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) scheme and its control are proposed. To validate this study, the control structure and strategies were implemented in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The results obtained by simulation were compared with those using traditional control strategies, they highlight an improvement in the functioning of wind conversion systems of this type, showing the rigor and effectiveness of the proposed strategy.</span>
