Wind energy is one of the premier renewable energy sources that have gained popularity during the last decade. Among the currently available wind energy conversion systems (WECS), doubly fed induction generator-based technology has been widely employed due to its superior advantageous. The key features of the DFIG-based WECS include its ability to capture more wind energy and support the grid with large reactive power during short disturbance events. On the other hand, DFIG is very sensitive to grid faults which affect its fault ride through (FRT) capability. Furthermore, extreme wind gust even for short durations may lead to the violation of the low voltage ride through (LVRT) threshold limits set by worldwide transmission line operators. This situation cannot be mitigated by the turbine blades pitch controller since the response of the pitch mechanical control is much slower than the rapid dynamic change in the wind speed during short duration of wind gust events. While DFIG FRT capability has been discussed in several papers in the literature, not much attention was given to the mitigation of the effects of extreme wind gust of short duration on the DFIG performance. In this paper, the effect of various levels of wind gust on the performance of a DFIG-based wind energy conversion grid-connected system is investigated and mitigated using a new controller for superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit. A combination of hysteresis current and fuzzy logic controllers is employed to control the voltage source converter and the DC-DC chopper interfacing the SMES coil with the investigated system. Simulation results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed SMES controller that can be easily implemented within existing as well as new WECS installations.INDEX TERMS Doubly fed induction generator, low voltage ride through, superconducting magnetic energy storage, wind gust.

“…Such growing interest in VSWTs can be related to their distinct characteristics, such as maximum power extraction, less ripple, and full controllability as compare to FSWT [5]. In the wind power sector, different kinds of generators are equipped with VSWT including the permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) [6], the squirrel cage induction generators (SCIGs) [7], and the doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) [8]. Despite the DFIG's economic choice, many key advantages reside behind the extensive use of PMSGs based VSWT.…”

The expanding trend of wind power technology motivates scholars to pursue more investigation on optimising energy extraction from the wind and integrating high-quality power into the utility grid. This paper is aimed at introducing a novel application of the sine cosine algorithm (SCA) which attempts to find the optimal gains of proportional-integral (PI) controllers used to control the power electronic converter (PEC) equipped with the Variable speed Wind turbine (VSWT) such that a maximum power extraction and performance enhancement can be realized. The PEC equipped with the VSWT combines a machine side converter (MSC) and a grid-side inverter (GSI). Both the MSC and GSI are controlled by the proposed SCA-based PI controllers through cascaded vector control schemes. The MSC is responsible for controlling the wind generator's rotational speed, active power, and reactive power. The GSI is used to regulate the dc-link voltage and to keep the terminal voltage at the desired frame set by the operator. To obtain the optimum PI gains, the SCA is applied to minimize the sum of the integral squared error (ISE) of twelve PI controllers error inputs in the control schemes simultaneously. Performances of the proposed SCA-PI control schemes are assessed under severe grid disturbance and random wind speed variation to mimic more realistic conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed SCA-PI is verified in the MATLAB/Simulink environment, and the results are compared to those obtained using a grey wolf optimizer and particle swarm algorithm-based optimal PI controller. The simulation findings confirm the SCA-PI can be regarded as an efficacious way to enhance the performance of the VSWT.INDEX TERMS Wind turbine control, power electronic converter, MPPT, PMSG, PI controller, sine cosine algorithm.

“…Based on [4], doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) has occupied 50% of the total installed wind energy conversion systems (WECS) which makes it dominating the total installations among the other types of WTGs worldwide. This DFIG domination is due to its advantages which include: easy control of the active and reactive power, grid and generator sides' controllability and ability to function under variable wind speed.…”

Application of SMES Technology in Improving the Performance of a DFIG-WECS Connected to a Weak Grid

Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) has become one of the most popular renewable-based power generation that is broadly connected to electricity grids worldwide. Till the year 2019, the total WTGs installed worldwide reached about 650.8GW. The WTG is interfaced to the electricity grid through power electronic converters with a proper control algorithm to facilitate a smooth power delivery as well as maintaining the system voltage and frequency stability during wind intermittency. However, power grids are usually subjected to load expansion which affects the stiffness of the grid and hence its stability. A weak electricity grid exhibits voltage instability that may affect the performance of WTGs and in some cases may lead to serious damages to the wind turbines and the entire system. In this paper, superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) technology based on fuzzy logic controller is implemented to effectively resolve this issue and improve the overall performance of WTGs. Hysteresis current and fuzzy logic-based control system is proposed to control the energy exchange between the SMES coil and the investigated system. Results show the effectiveness of the SMES to improve the overall system performance and along with the fault ridethrough capability of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG).INDEX TERMS DFIG, SMES, Low voltage ride through, Wind energy, Weak grid.
