This paper proposes an isolated buck-boost topology and control strategy for the photovoltaic (PV) medium-voltage DC (MVDC) converter with low-voltage ride through (LVRT) capability. The proposed operates on either boost or buck mode by only controlling active semiconductors side. Based this topology, (MV) dc–dc module is able to be developed reduce number of modules increase power density in c...

At the present time Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind energy conversion systems are widely used for large wind power plants. DFIG offers many advantages for instance reduced rating power converter, low cost and reduced losses with the better efficiency, easy in realization of power factor correction schemes, variable speed operation and four quadrants active and reactive power co...

From a theoretical perspective, this paper develops a systematic approach to analyze the transient characteristics of the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) in three-phase grid-connected converter with LCL filter by using the nonlinear modal series method. Firstly, the mathematical model and the corresponding second order modal series model of the system are described. And then, the simulation res...

The design and implementation of a new control system for reactive power compensation and mechanical torque, voltage regulation and transient stability enhancement for wind turbines equipped with fixed-speed induction generators (IGs) in power systems is presented in this study. The designed optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller provides an acceptable post fault performance for bo...

For grid-connected DFIG-based wind turbine, Fault Ride Through (FRT) or Low Voltage (LVRT) capability is vital problem that need to be improved. This paper proposes an Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) strategy applied Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based Wind turbine (WT), which integrates a Dynamic Restorer (DVR). The DVR connect in series the DFIG output terminal and utility...

For doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines (WTs), various advanced control schemes have been proposed to achieve the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability, whose parameters design is significantly reliant on rotor electromotive force (EMF) of DFIG-based WTs. However, influence current EMF usually ignored in existing studies, which cannot fully reflect transient character...

The grid codes now require doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines having the “low voltage ride-through (LVRT)” capability. However, a traditional DFIG with a partially rated back-to-back converter has inherent difficulties to ride through the grid faults, especially for the unbalanced grid faults. Modifications to the traditional DFIG configuration for ride-through have become nece...
