Tuning the regulators of wind-diesel power plant operating on the DC-bus

Abstract

The present work focuses on the development of control systems of wind-diesel power plant with DC-bus, which provide generation static stability for a given operation conditions. The article describes the operating modes of generating units and conversion devices, by which the maximum power output and static stability of the wind-diesel system are realized. Independent controllers setting for each generation source is proposed, making possible a modular extension of the hybrid power plant. The controllers are tuned for wind and diesel generation sources. Two optimization methods are used: linear and modular. By quality indicators analysis of the transients and logarithmic frequency responses the optimal structure and parameters of the regulators are selected. The regulators developed are implemented and used for existing power equipment. The control systems test experimental data obtained confirm the adequacy, reliability and performance of the developed solutions.

Fuse Selection for the Two-Stage Explosive Type Switches

“…In a two-stage disconnection method of high current circuit [1][2][3][4][5][6] the fuse is connected parallel to the power contacts. This solution allows to dramatically increase the length of the disconnection arc and reduce the limiting level of fault current.…”

Method for Selecting Quantity and Power of Diesel Generators

“…Meanwhile, the indicators under consideration are extremely important, as technical and economic characteristics of the power plant are largely depend on them. A number of papers are devoted to this field of investigation [2,3,4].…”

Control of Valve Converters with Natural Current Characteristics

“…The quality of electrical energy depends essentially on the type of harmonic composition of the current consumed. The harmonic composition of the network current is essentially dependent on the semiconductor transducers, which is a non-linear load for the supply network, which leads to significant distortion of the form of the network current and, as a consequence, deterioration of quality indicators electricity [1][2][3][4].…”
