Influence of Wind Turbine Generator Fault-tolerant Control on Power Production Quality

چکیده
Renewable energy sources bring to fore the significance of power electronics and corresponding control. The topic of wind turbine fault-tolerant control has emerged as a promising line of research for improving their market competence. The paper presents summarized control of wind turbine converter with a fault-tolerant control extension for generator electromechanical faults, based on a proper modulation of the stator magnetic flux. The modulation also introduces hard periodic oscillations in the stator currents and generator output power. Simulation results obtained with a Matlab-Simplorer co-simulation and detailed power converter model show that DC-link capacitor and corresponding control algorithm act like an energy buffer that suppress the influence of generator stator oscillations on currents passed to the grid and maintain the high quality of power production. Following from the results, the generator and grid side controls are justified to be considered as two independent problems.
