“…Meanwhile, the per capita electricity consumption in the country is exponentially increasing. The government is introducing policy measures for increasing power generation infrastructure in order to keep pace with the increasing demand for electricity in the country [1]. The available installed power capacity is about 17 GW, whereas the demand is 22.5 GW, and averagely, the shortfall is approximately 5.5 GW.…”

The increasing environmental awareness across the globe is leading towards a green and clean world. Currently, Pakistan is going through an acute energy crisis; it is an ongoing challenge for the government to provide uninterrupted power supply at economical rates to its citizens and potential industrial investors, now and in future. Thus, this energy scenario necessitates the incorporation of renewable energy technologies with power systems to enhance its generation capacity, and to overcome electricity outage of approximately 8-12 hours, in the country. In this paper, the authors encouraged the state policy for utilizing the wind energy for power generation, which is freely available across 1600 km long coastal belt of Pakistan. For this purpose, wind potential is explicitly evaluated across Sindh and Baluchistan provinces in Pakistan. The energy generated by various wind turbine prototypes is employed to suggest the most optimum location through optimal probability function. Moreover, this study provides an evocative progression based on realtime wind data to integrate wind power for rural electrification across the coastal zones of Pakistan. This study is expected to play an imperative role in incorporating wind farms on proposed sites to facilitate investors interested in investing in Pakista's energy sector.

The incorporation of wind energy as a non-conventional energy source has received a lot of attention. The selection of wind turbine (WT) prototypes and their installation based on assessment and analysis is considered as a major problem. This paper focuses on addressing the aforementioned issues through a Weibull distribution technique based on five different methods. The accurate results are obtained by considering the real-time data of a particular site located in the coastal zone of Pakistan. Based on the computations, it is observed that the proposed site has most suitable wind characteristics, low turbulence intensity, wind shear exponent located in a safe region, adequate generation with the most adequate capacity factor and wind potential. The wind potential of the proposed site is explicitly evaluated with the support of wind rose diagrams at different heights. The energy generated by ten different prototypes will suggest the most optimum and implausible WT models. Correspondingly, the most capricious as well as optimal methods are also classified among the five Weibull parameters. Moreover, this study provides a meaningful course of action for the selection of a suitable site, WT prototype and parameters evaluation based on the real-time data for powering local communities.

An LVRT Scheme for Grid Connected DFIG Based WECS Using State Feedback Linearization Control Technique

This paper primarily focuses on an advance control strategy to enhance the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability in doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind energy conversion system (WCES). In the proposed control strategy, the captured wind energy during grid faults circumstances is stored timidly in the rotor’s inertia kinetic energy. Though a minimal amount of energy is available in the grid, stator current and DC-link voltage are set beneath the perilous levels. However, both the required stator voltage and stator current are kept within a tolerable range of rotor side converter (RSC), through state feedback linearization technique for maintaining the accurate control to suppress the overvoltage and overcurrent. Furthermore, stator current oscillations are significantly suppressed during fault transient. The input mechanical energy from the wind turbine can be resumed after the fault clearance. In spite of being dissipated in the resistors of crowbar circuit, as in the conventional LVRT assemblies, torque balancing among electrical and mechanical measures is attained; DC-link voltage instabilities and rotor speed inconsistencies are substantially reduced. As a result, a noticeable reduction in the requirement of reactive power and swift restoration of terminal voltage on fault clearance is acquired successfully. Correspondingly, several tests are conducted to validate the effectiveness and enhancement in the performance of the DFIG based wind farms, when the proposed control strategy is implemented over it during numerous fault ride-through circumstances.
