The global electrical energy consumption is steadily rising and consequently there is a demand to increase the power generation capacity. A significant percentage of the required capacity increase can be based on renewable energy sources.The integration of Distributed Generations into grid has a great importance in improving system reliability. The power generation with renewable energy sources...

With the change in the wind profile, the speed of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) of wind energy conversion system (WECS) changes from super synchronous to sub synchronous range and vice versa. DFIG is operated to generate quality power; hence, power at rotor side is controlled using matrix converter taking power from grid and feeding back power to the grid depending on the wind profile. ...

The main contribution of this paper is the development of fault tolerant control for a wind energy conversion system (WECS) based on the stochastic piecewise affine (PWA) model. In this paper the normal and fault stochastic PWA models for WECS including multiple working points at different wind speeds are established. A reliable piecewise linear quadratic regulator state feedback is designed fo...

This paper expands a nonlinear fuzzy based control strategy applied to a variable speed Wind Energy Conversion System WECS founded on Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG. As power network assists a high wind energy emergence, the studied WECS represents a wind farm WF of 500MW connected to the Grid and dispatched in such a way that it can contribute to grid frequency control with delivering a s...

Wind Energy Conversion Systems are the most striking renewable energy resources available to generate the electricity. Doubly-fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind turbine with variable speed is the most common wind turbine in the growing wind market. In any WECS, power flow must be maintained at all instant irrespective of any fault in the system. This paper deals with fault tolerant contr...

This paper presents Maximum Power Point Control for variable speed wind turbine driven permanentmagnet generator. The wind turbine generator is operated such that the rotor speed varies according to wind speed to adjust the duty cycle of power converter and maximizes Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) efficiency. The maximum power point for each speed value is traced using Maximum Power Point...

The threat of climate change and diminishing fossil fuels demands nothing short of an energy revolution, a transformation which is already underway as renewable energy markets exhibit enormous and steady growth. This paper presents design of optimal control schemes for Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) based on a time scale technique. The dynamics governing the mechanical components of a va...

a detailed model of wind power station, including double fed induction generator, dfig is presented in this paper. two control mechanisms are included in the model. the inner control system uses stator flux oriented control for the rotor side converter and grid voltage vector control for the grid side converter. the outer control system is used for wind turbine pitch angle. pscad/emtdc is used ...

This paper presents the operation of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) with Fuzzy Logic Control & an integrated active filter capabilities using grid-side converter (GSC). The main contribution of this work lies in the control of GSC using Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC) for supplying harmonics in addition to its slip power transfer. The rotor-side converter (RSC) is used for attaining maximum po...

The paper deals with a design and implementation of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind energy conversion system (WECS) connected to the power grid. A back-to-back AC/DC/AC converter is incorporated between the stator and the rotor windings of a DFIG, in order to obtain variable speed operation. The DFIG can be controlled from sub-synchronous speed to super synchronous speed operation....
