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...

A doubly-fed induction generator’s (DFIG’s) sensitivity to external faults has motivated researchers to investigate the impact of various grid disturbances, such as voltage sags and short circuit faults, on its low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability. However, no attention has been paid to the impact of internal faults in voltage source converters (VSCs), that interface a DFIG with the grid,...

This paper studies a control strategy to improve low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine (WT). This solution is based on the DFIG with Crowbar circuit control and the installation of STATCOM which is connected at the point of common coupling (PCC). The simulation model of WTs with STATCOM is built using the environment MATLAB/Simuli...

Rapid renewable energy sources (RESs) deployments in transmission and distribution networks have changed power systems’ operation control mechanisms. This fundamental shift makes the interaction between systems more sensitive requires robust TSO–DSO coordination to ensure system stability ancillary services for entire network. paper uses an electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulation tool using ...

In order to utilize Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) as primary power source in an isolated system, they should be able to regulate the voltage and frequency of the system as well as ride-through faults. This paper proposes a new control strategy for a DFIG operating in an isolated power system, accomplished by a Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) and a Supercapacitor Energy Storage System (...

This paper presents a comparative assessment of four low voltage fault ride through (LVFRT) techniques that alleviate the effects power imbalance during AC network faults for source converter (VSC)-based wind energy conversion systems (WECSs). The appraised include software-based coordinated control (CC) technique, commercially available dumping resistor (DR) and two storage techniques, namely,...

Abstract: Distributed renewable energy systems play an increasing role in today’s energy paradigm. Thus, intensive research activities have been centered on improving the performance of renewable energy systems, including photovoltaic (PV) systems, which should be of multiple-functionality. That is, the PV systems should be more intelligent in the consideration of grid stability, reliability, a...

In recent years, grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power generations have become the most extensively used energy resource among other types of renewable energies. Increasing integration PV sources into network and their dynamic performances under fault conditions is an important issue for grid code requirements. this paper, a source as unified interphase controller (UIPC) to enhance low voltage...
