Modelling of a Photovoltaic-Based Grid Supporting Microgrid and Fault Ride-Through Control Application

Control System Design and Fault-Ride-through Performance Analysis of Grid-Connected Microturbine Generation System

In recent years, microturbines as one the distributed generation sources have widly used. This paper investigates the control structure of the microturbine and analyzes its performance in grid-connected mode. In this way, first, the mechanical model of the microturbine is presented. Then, the electrical structure of the microturbine, consisting  of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) ...

Low Voltage Ride Through Enhancement Based on Improved Direct Power Control of DFIG under Unbalanced and Harmonically Distorted Grid Voltage

In the conventional structure of the wind turbines along with the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), the stator is directly connected to the power grid. Therefore, voltage changes in the grid result in severe transient conditions in the stator and rotor. In cases where the changes are severe, the generator will be disconnected from the grid and consequently the grid stability will be attenu...

Fault Ride Through Effects on Alternators Connected to the Grid

Traditionally, industrial countries have generated most of their electricity in large centralised facilities, such as fossil fuel (coal, gas), nuclear, large solar power plants or hydropower plants. Although these plants have excellent economies of scale, they usually transmit electricity over long distances and negatively affect the environment. More recently, a surge in the concerns over clim...

Modelling and control of a grid connected photovoltaic system

This paper presents a simulation model of the electric part of a grid connected photovoltaic generator. The model contains a detailed representation of the main components of the system that are the solar array, boost converter and the grid side inverter. A proper control of the DC/DC converter is developed in order to extract the maximum amount of from the photovoltaic generator. The grid inte...
