Abstract:

Nowadays, propagation of wind turbines make challenges to supply safe power to the grid. Because of wind speed changes, supervisors are concerned to wind turbines, be able to produce appropriate electric power during the wind speed changes. As a matter of fact, investors are mostly like to invest on offshore wind farms, because of their more stable and continuous wind speed rather than onshore ones. Although offshore wind farms are more reliable than onshore ones, their power control is a very important issue. In this paper a method is presented to control wind farms output power. This method is able to fix wind farm output power even during the wind speed changes. On the other hand by this method, the wind farm is able to operate such as a PV BUS. The proposed wind farm configuration and control system is validated by simulation on Matlab/Simulink software. We also formulate and model the wind turbine, VSC converters of HVDC link and the PMSG generator. Moreover they are modeled and simulated on d-q frame by MATLAB/Simulink.

Wind farm power output

A simple methodology is described – the multi-turbine power curve approach – a methodology to generate a qualified estimate of the time series of the aggregated power generation from planned wind turbine units distributed in an area where limited wind time series are available. This is often the situation in a planning phase where you want to simulate planned expansions in a power system with w...

Discrete Time Control Method for SVM Direct Active Power and Stator Flux Control of PMSG-Based Wind Turbine

This paper proposes a new method for direct control of active power and stator flux of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) used in the wind power generation system. Active power and stator flux are controlled by the proposed discrete time algorithm. Despite the commonly used vector control methods, there is no need for inner current control loops. To decrease the errors between refere...

Intermittent Smoothing Approaches for Wind Power Output: A Review

Wind energy is one of the most common types of renewable energy resource. Due to its sustainability and environmental benefits, it is an emerging source for electric power generation. Rapid and random changes of wind speed makes it an irregular and inconsistent power source when connected to the grid, causing different technical problems in protection, power quality and generation dispatch cont...

Stability Improvement of a Hybrid DFIG-Based and PMSG- Based Offshore Wind Farm fed to a SG-Based Power System Using a STATCOM

This paper presents the stability-improvement results of a synchronous generator (SG)-based one-machine infinite-bus (OMIB) system with a hybrid doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based and permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based offshore wind farm (OWF) using a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The operating performance of the studied PMSG-based OWF is simulated by an eq...

A New Method for Reducing Uncertainty of Wind Power Based on Fuzzy RLS-MLFE

Due to incremental use of renewable energies, some challenges have been arised in control of wind power systems. One of the important ones is the uncertainty of wind power that affects directly on the cost of utilization. In this paper some algorithms based on the fuzzy logic and neural networks have been implemented to analyze the uncertainty of the wind power using historical data collected f...

CFD Study on Aerodynamic Power Output Changes with Inter-Turbine Spacing Variation for a 6 MW Offshore Wind Farm

This study examined the aerodynamic power output change of wind turbines with inter-turbine spacing variation for a 6 MW wind farm composed of three sets of 2 MW wind turbines using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The wind farm layout design is becoming increasingly important as the use of wind energy is steadily increasing. Among the many wind farm layout design parameters, the inter-turbi...
