“…Suvire et al [63] proved that the power quality during fault conditions can be improved by connecting a DSTATCOM at the junction point of common coupling (PCC) of the flywheel and wind source. The work in [64] consists of fuzzy logic and a special filter-based controlling technique.…”

Abstract: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 control. Due to these problems, effective intermittent smoothing approaches for wind power output are crucially needed to minimize such problems. This paper reviews various intermittent smoothing approaches used in smoothing the output power fluctuations caused by wind energy. Problems associated with the inclusion of wind energy resources to grid are also briefly reviewed. From this review, it has been found that battery energy storage system is the most suitable and effective smoothing approach, provided that an effective control strategy is available for optimal utilization of battery energy system. This paper further demonstrates different control strategies built for battery energy storage system to obtain the smooth output wind power.

“…The second involves more recent high-speed flywheel systems (up to 60,000 rpm) that are available commercially and make use of advanced composite wheels that have a much higher energy and power density than steel wheels. This technology requires ultra-low friction bearing assemblies, such as magnetic bearings (Suvire and Mercado, 2012;Sutanto and Cheng, 2009;Molina and Mercado, 2003;Karasik et al, 1999;Rojas, 2007). Flywheels can be used together with batteries to reduce the number of discharge cycles of the batteries to extend useful life of the batteries.…”

Distributed generation (DG) in smart grid (SG) is being employed as a means of achieving increased reliability for electrical power systems as regarded by consumers. As the most of DG technologies utilise renewable sources, the power electronic interface plays a vital role to match the characteristics of a DG unit with the grid requirements. This paper presents the power electronics capabilities required for DG systems in SG to convert the generated power into useful power that can be directly interconnected with the utility grid and/or that can be used for consumer applications. Because of the enhancement and the different power ranges of power electronics devices, the development of advanced power electronic interface that is scalable to meet different power requirements, with modular design, lower cost, and improved reliability, will improve the overall performance and durability of smart grid distributed power systems.

“…One of the major problems of wind conversion systems is the variations of the output power produced by short-term wind fluctuations, which affect the power quality and may lead to system instability [2]. In order to mitigate the variation in power quality, and enhance the during-fault performance of the system, which may occur due to wind variations, load step changes, which can last for seconds or minutes or even longer, a scheme of Distributed Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM) connected at a point of common coupling with flywheel (FESS) is suggested [3].…”

-In power systems, the use of renewable energy, especially Wind power generation is steadily increasing around the world. However, this incorporation and the lack of controllability over the wind, and the type of generation used cause problems in the power quality and in the dynamics of the system. In this work, the use of a Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM) coupled with a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) is proposed to mitigate problems introduced by the intermittency of wind power generation. A dynamic model of the DSTATCOM/FESS device is briefly presented and a multi-level control technique is proposed. The proposed control technique has one control mode for active power, and two control modes to choose between, for reactive power and voltage control. The above technique has been used here to enhance not only the steady state operation but also to mitigate sudden load changes. The control system under consideration, with the DSTATCOM/FESS, and its controls are analyzed also, under the conditions of different faults which may happen in the system. Simulation tests of the device are analyzed when it is combined with wind generation in the electric system. The results demonstrate satisfactory performance of the proposed control techniques, as well as a high effectiveness of the control system to mitigate problems introduced by wind power generation.
