Unified Power Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Based Wind Power System with Ancillary Support during Grid Faults

Abstract

A unified active power control scheme is devised for the grid-integrated permanent magnet synchronous generator-based wind power system (WPS) to follow the Indian electricity grid code requirements. The objective of this paper is to propose control schemes to ensure the continuous integration of WPS into the grid even during a higher percentage of voltage dip. In this context, primarily a constructive reactive power reference is formulated to raise and equalize the point of common coupling (PCC) potential during symmetrical and asymmetrical faults, respectively. A simple active power reference is also proposed to inject a consistent percentage of generated power even during faults without violating system ratings. Eventually, the efficacy of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in terms of PCC voltage enhancement, DC-link potential, grid real, and reactive power oscillation minimization using the PSCAD/ EMTDC software.

Framework of Transactive Energy Market Strategies for Lucrative Peer-to-Peer Energy Transactions

“…However, unlike utility, the LEM lets the exporters and importers trade their surplus energy generation/demand with others for a higher profit. Under this market strategy, the market-clearing price for every exporter during a trading interval t can be stated as illustrated in (9).…”

“…The lack of a middleman in transactions, as well as automation, improves the system's security and dependability [8]. The smart contract, which is based on blockchain technology, is one of the technologies that may deliver such a service [9].…”

Design and Analysis of a Virtual Synchronous Generator Control Scheme to Augment FRT Capability of PMSG-Based Wind Turbine

“…However, the conventional cascaded control mechanism can't ensure FRT capability properly. Also, some auxiliary devices, for example, supercapacitors [8], energy storage systems (ESS) [9], static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) [10], unified power flow controllers (UPFC) [11], flywheel energy storage system (FESS) [12] and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) [12] etc., has been applied to augment FRT competence of PMSG system. However, all the auxiliary devices will increase the overall system cost.…”
