A New Method of Reference Signal Generation Applied To UPQC-PHEV For Grid Integration of WECS-SCIG

Abstract

In this paper a new reference signal generation control technique is proposed for integration of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC) with Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) for overcoming voltage sag and other voltage fault conditions on wind farms which is connected to grid. The interaction of wind generators and grid causes increased short circuit current which leads to instability during fault conditions. The new control technique which generate reference signals for series active power filter (Series APF) and shunt active power filter (Shunt APF) of UPQC by using PHEV as an Energy Storage System (ESS) which will take care of all types of voltage faults occurred in the system and provide energy storage to DC link between Series APF and Shunt APF parts of UPQC. The control scheme proposed also maintains transaction of active and reactive power of Wind Energy Conversion System based on Squirrel Cage Induction Generators (WECS-SCIG) and grid. The fuzzy logic provides fast and dynamic response to clear faults occurred in the system.
