Abstract The variable-speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) attracts the maximum power from wind, but voltage-regulation and frequency-control of the system in standalone operation is a challenging task A modern-control-based-tracking of power from wind for its best utilization is proposed in this paper for standalone PMSG based hybrid-WECS comprising Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). An Adaptive Synchronous Reference Frame Phase-Locked-Loop (SRF-PLL) based control scheme for load side bi-directional voltage source converter (VSC) is presented for the system. MATLAB/Simulink model is developed for simulation study for the proposed system and the effectiveness of the controller for bi-directional-converter is discussed under different operating conditions: like variable wind-velocity, sudden load variation, and load unbalancing. Converter control scheme enhances the power smoothening, supply-load power-matching. Also it is able to regulate the active & reactive power from PMSG-BESS hybrid system with control of fluctuations in voltage & frequency with respect to varying operating conditions. Proposed controller successfully offers reactive-power-compensation, harmonics-reduction, and power-balancing. The proposed scheme is based on proportional & integral (PI) controller. Also system is experimentally validated in the laboratory-environment and results are presented here.

This paper dealt the implementation of a Leaky-Momentum Control Algorithm (LMA) for controlling a voltage source converter (VSC) to enhance the power quality of a three-phase self-excited induction generator (SEIG) used in a distributed generating system. This LMA technique operates the VSC to regulate voltage and frequency of SEIG within a permissible limit. The LMA control is implemented to reduce the higher demand of reactive power, harmonics distortions and balancing of loads under different operating conditions. During the electrical and mechanical dynamical conditions, the LMA technique is maintaining a constant voltage and frequency at point of common coupling (PCC). The proposed technique is a modified control technique of basic Leaky and Momentum Algorithms. This control has removed the drawbacks of Leaky and momentum algorithms. Moreover, it is observed that LMA performs better when there are uncertainties in input conditions. The whole system comprising SEIG, nonlinear load, voltage source converter and battery storage system is made in MATLAB /SIMULINK. It has shown promising performance under both dynamical state and steady state of the system.

Direct current microgrids (DCMGs) are currently presented as an alternative solution for small systems that feed sensitive electrical loads into DC. According to the scientific literature, DCMG maintains good voltage regulation. However, when the system is in islanded mode, very pronounced voltage variations are presented, compromising the system’s ability to achieve reliable and stable energy management. Therefore, the authors propose a solution, connecting the electrical network through a grid-tied voltage source converter (GVSC) in order to reduce voltage variations. A coordinated control strategy between the DCMG and GVSC is proposed to regulate the DC voltage and find a stable power flow between the various active elements, which feed the load. The results show that the control strategy between the GVSC and DCMG, when tested under different disturbances, improves the performance of the system, making it more reliable and stable. Furthermore, the GVSC supports the AC voltage at the point of common coupling (PCC) without reducing the operating capacity of the DCMG and without exceeding even its most restrictive limit. All simulations were carried out in MATLAB 2020.


Distributed generation and renewable energy sources are hot research topics from past 10 years or so due to various reasons. The sudden load variation leads to change in voltage and frequency, and if nonlinearity presents, the T.H.D. variations will be more. Power quality controlled devices like DSTATCOM with battery energy storage system (B.E.S.S.) that controlled by pulse width modulation (P.W.M.) based voltage source converter (V.S.C.) in the distribution system would control the voltage, frequency and THD, indirectly power control. This paper presents an autonomous W.E.C.S. with zig-zag (Z2) transformer connected V.S.C. controlled DSTATCOM with BESS and its control scheme. It also shows the various MATLAB simulated results. It also contemplates the various performance parameters from previous methodology. It strategically concludes that the proposed system is effective in controlling voltage and frequency (V-f) and T.H.D. in voltage and current

A microgrid consists of a grid capable of operating in connection to the main interconnected power system or in island mode. This paper deals with a microgrid containing a small hydroelectric power plant (HPP), a battery energy storage system (BESS), a wind energy conversion system (WECS), and a photovoltaic array (PV). The WECS and PV systems are connected to the grid through one full-power voltage source converter (VSC). In order to provide frequency and voltage supports to the microgrid, the VSC is controlled by a virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technique of synchronverter. The considered scenario was divided into three parts: first, the microgrid operates connected to the main system and then it starts operating in island mode; posteriorly, frequency and voltage variations occur due to load variations in the microgrid; finally, the microgrid returns to operate connected to the interconected system. Simulation results have shown that the synchronverter is an alternative to provide efficient frequency and voltage control to a microgrid for both connected and island modes, considering a hybrid generation unit.

This paper presents Nyström minimum kernel risk-sensitive loss (NysMKRSL) based control of a three-phase four-wire grid-tied dual-stage PV-hybrid energy storage system, under varying conditions such as irradiation variation, unbalanced load, and abnormal grid voltage. The Voltage Source Converter (VSC) control enables the system to perform multifunctional operations such as reactive power compensation, load balancing, power balancing, and harmonics elimination while maintaining Unity Power Factor (UPF). The proposed VSC control delivers more accurate weights with fewer oscillations, hence reducing overall losses and providing better stability to the system. The seamless control with the Hybrid Energy Storage System (HESS) facilitates the system’s grid-tied and isolated operation. The HESS includes the battery, fuel cell, and ultra-capacitor to accomplish the peak shaving, managing the disturbances of sudden and prolonged nature occurring due to load unbalancing and abnormal grid voltage. The DC link voltage is regulated by tuning the PI controller gains utilizing the Salp Swarm Optimization (SSO) algorithm to stabilize the system with minimum deviation from the reference voltage, during various simulated dynamic conditions. The optimized DC bus control generates the accurate loss component of current, which further enhances the performance of the proposed VSC control. The presented system was simulated in the MATLAB 2016a environment and performed satisfactorily as per IEEE 519 standards.

The paper includes the analysis of the operation of low-voltage prosumer installation consisting of receivers and electricity sources and equipped with a 3-phase energy storage system. The aim of the storage application is the management of active power within the installation to decrease the total power exchanged with the supplying network and thus reduce energy costs borne by the prosumer. A solution for the effective implementation of the storage system is presented. Apart from the active power management performed according to the prosumer’s needs, the storage inverter provides the ancillary service of voltage regulation in the network according to the requirements of the network operator. A control strategy involving algorithms for voltage regulation without prejudice to the prosumer’s interest is described in the paper. Reactive power is used first as a control signal and if the required voltage effect cannot be reached, then the active power in the controlled phase is additionally changed and the Energy Storage System (ESS) loading is redistributed in phases in such a way that the total active power set by the prosumer program remains unchanged. The efficiency of the control strategy was tested by means of a simulation model in the PSCAD/EMTDC program. The results of the simulations are presented.

Recent studies show that the loss of stability for a voltage-source converter (VSC) in weak-grid connection is largely related to its synchronization unit, i.e., the phase-locked loop (PLL). This paper studies the synchronization stability of a system comprised by two VSCs in parallel connection to a weak grid. A reduced transfer function based small-signal model, which can allow for the interactions between PLL and converter outer power controls, is first proposed. Then, an improved net damping criterion is used to analyze the damping and stability characters of such system under various operating conditions and different controller configurations. Compared to the conventional net damping criterion, the used criterion has wider applicability in terms of stability judgment. Case studies show that the studied system tends to be unstable at weak-grid or heavy-loading conditions. The instability can be in the form of oscillations or monotonic divergence, in which, the latter is more likely to occur for the converters without grid voltage regulation capabilities. Besides, the net damping-based sensitivity studies can provide guidance on control tuning or design for stability enhancement. Detailed model-based time domain simulations are conducted to verify the analysis results.

A stand-alone doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind power generation system using a third-harmonic injection indirect matrix converter (THIIMC) is proposed. The THIIMC has the same performance of a back-to-back pulse width modulation converter, but does not require the bulky direct current (dc)-link capacitor. Because of both its compact construction and high reliability, it is very suitable for embedding into DFIG-based wind generators. It also overcomes the drawbacks of indirect matrix converters and improves the reactive power output capability. The THIIMC consists of a rectifier-side converter, an inverter-side converter (ISC), and an active third-harmonic current injection circuit. A direct stator voltage vector control scheme for the ISC provides the desired stator voltage to the loads. The control scheme is designed to compensate the reactive power of the loads based on the THIIMC working principle. Maximum power point tracking control is performed by a battery energy storage system, which is placed in the dc-link of the THIIMC to smooth out the power fluctuations caused by load or wind speed variations. Simulation results demonstrate the performance and feasibility of the proposed topology and control scheme.
