Abstract

In this research paper we will cover the study of the modelling and the control methods of the variable speed wind turbine based on doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). It represents the most stressed structure given its distinctive characteristics. To control the electrical powers generated by this system independently, the vector control with the stator flux orientation is founded according to two techniques: i) the control of the powers by the backstepping technique and ii) the robust control based on the active disturbances rejection control. After the synthesis of the controllers of those two methods, their performances will be tested and compared to evaluate their effectiveness. We are mainly interested in the robustness test of the two control strategies with respect to the internal parameters’ fluctuation of the generator. The computing of the different parameters regulators of these two strategies is carried out using a genetic algorithm. This computing method makes it possible to arrive at an optimal solution of the DFIG power control. The different parts are simulated using MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Abstract

This paper presents a robust coordinated control of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) and a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind energy conversion system (WECS), used to smooth the wind induced output power fluctuations. The overall system control combines field oriented control schemes and nonlinear backstepping approach applied first, to the machine side converter (MSC) to regulate the DFIG active and reactive power in order to ensure maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operation and a unity power factor at the point of common coupling (PCC). Then, to the grid side converter (GSC) to maintain a constant DC bus voltage. Finally, to the flywheel side converter (FSC) in way that allows the storage unit to serve as a buffer that stores energy in the case of excess power and retrieves it back into the output in the case of power deficiency. A numerical simulation using Matlab/Simulink software validates the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies in terms of dynamic response, improvement of generated power quality and robustness against parametric variation.

Abstract

In this paper, we study the primary frequency control that allows the variable speed Aeolian to participate in the frequency regulation when a failure affects the network frequency. This method based on the control of the generator rotational speed or the control of pitch angle makes it possible to force the wind turbine to produce less power than its maximum available power, consequently we will create an active power reserve. This wind turbine must inject into the grid a part of its power reserve when the frequency drops, in contrary the wind turbine reserves more of energy. So, this work presents the performances of this control strategy for the different wind speed value. The results are obtained by a simulation in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.

Abstract

In this research paper we investigate the modelling and control of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) driven in rotation by wind turbine, the control objectives is to optimize capture wind, extract the maximum of the power generated to the grid using MPPT algorithm (Maximum Power Point Tracking) and have a specified reactive power generated whatever wind speed variable, the indirect field oriented control IFOC with the PI correctors was used to achieve such as decoupled control. To validate the dynamique performance of our controller the whole system was simulated using dSPACE DS1104 Controller board Real Time Interface (RTI) which runs in Simulink/MATLAB software and ControlDesk 4.2 graphical interfaces.

Abstract

Wind energy conversion system (WECS) is composed of many non-linear power electronic sub systems, which contribute significantly in harmonic emissions that is a threat for the quality of electrical power. Hence, for a better integration of WECS in the electrical grid and in order to satisfy IEEE 519 standards, WECS must inject a quality power with a rate of total harmonics distortion (THD) that is less than 5%. Multilevel Inverters are an emerging solution for having a perfect sinusoidal output voltage with minimum harmonic content and lower switching losses than the two-level inverter so that only a smaller filter size is required. Thus, in this paper we are presenting a significantly improved results of the reduction of the grid injected current THD using three types of inverters (two-levels, three-levels NPC, and five-levels H-bridge cascade) for a WECS and comparing the THD performances of using each of the studied inverter. All results of THD are verified by a Fast Fourier transform simulation using MATLAB/Simulink.
