With the rapid increase in the proportion of the installed wind power capacity in the total grid capacity, the state has put forward higher and higher requirements for wind power integration into the grid, among which the most difficult requirement is the zero-voltage ride through (ZVRT) capability of the wind turbine. When the voltage drops deeply, a series of transient processes, such as serious overvoltage, overcurrent, or speed rise, will occur in the motor, which will seriously endanger the safe operation of the wind turbine itself and its control system, and cause large-scale off-grid accident of wind generator. Therefore, it is of great significance to improve the uninterrupted operation ability of the wind turbine. Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) can achieve the best wind energy tracking control in a wide range of wind speed and has the advantage of flexible power regulation. It is widely used at present, but it is sensitive to the grid voltage. In the current study, the DFIG is taken as the research object. The transient process of the DFIG during a fault is analyzed in detail. The mechanism of the rotor overcurrent and DC bus overvoltage of the DFIG during fault is studied. Additionally, the simulation model is built in DIgSILENT. The active crowbar hardware protection circuit is put into the rotor side of the wind turbine, and the extended state observer and terminal sliding mode control are added to the grid side converter control. Through the cooperative control technology, the rotor overcurrent and DC bus overvoltage can be suppressed to realize the zero-voltage ride-through of the doubly fed wind turbine, and ensure the safe and stable operation of the wind farm. Finally, the simulation results are presented to verify the theoretical analysis and the proposed control strategy.

Abstract The increasing global energy and environmental problems are encouraging to the development and utilization of renewable and clean energy in various countries. Wind power is one of the major source in large-scale renewable energy applications. However, the frequency regulation becomes a critical issue while the technology is spreading. Research on the frequency modulation (FM) technology of wind turbines and its control strategy for future power grids become significant. The paper proposes a novel coordinated frequency control strategy with the synchronous generator to solve the unmatched state between the output power of the doubly-fed wind turbines (doubly-fed induction generators) and the grid frequency, combined with the frequency response characteristics of the synchronous generator. The FM coordination strategy is formulated by the modulation coefficient from current wind speed and operation mode of each wind turbine. By coordinating the FM output of the doubly-fed wind turbine and the synchronous generator within the allowable range of frequency deviation, it will achieve the dual goal of reducing the frequency regulation pressure of the synchronous generator and indirectly reducing the abandoned wind volume of the wind turbine. The simulation is carried out on the MATLAB/SIMULINK platform. The results show that the presenting variable coefficient frequency modulation strategy could significant smooth the wind power fluctuation, and allow the reserve power of the doubly-fed wind turbine can fully engaged in frequency modulation which will reduces the frequency modulation pressure of the synchronous generator in the system.

This paper proposed the line-commutated converter based multi-terminal HVDC (LCC-MTDC) combining with the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind farms integration with bulk wind power transmission over long distance. This paper is aimed at the control strategy design and the operational characteristics research of LCC-MTDC for wind power transmission. Then, the control methodologies of the complex integration system are addressed from two aspects: the MTDC and the wind farm. The coordination control strategy is developed to ensure the stable operation of the MTDC system and the wind farm controller is designed to capture the maximum wind power and ensure all the wind power transferred into the MTDC. Simulation results in PSCAD/EMTDC show that LCC-MTDC could achieve desirable operational performances with the control strategy proposed.

The proportion of wind power in power systems is increasing year by year. Large-scale wind turbine off the grid when grid system failures. So the wind turbine needs to low voltage ride through (LVRT) function of wind turbine. Aiming at this problem, which in this article by DIgSILENT simulation software build 1.5MW doubly-fed wind turbine(DFIG) model, using active Crowbar and series grid side converter (SGSC) control strategy to realize the simulation of low voltage ride through of wind turbine. The control strategy of active Crowbar is mainly through the short circuit of rotor side converter to realize LVRT, and needs to be matched with the active and reactive power control strategy. SGSC is a novel converter structure, which mainly through compensating stator flux drop to realize LVRT. Finally this two kinds of control strategies were compared, demonstrated SGSC control strategy can achieve the low voltage ride through capabilities of the doubly-fed wind turbine.

With large-scale development of offshore wind power and the increasing scale of power grid interconnection, more and more attention has been drawn to the stable operation of wind power units. When the wide area measurement system (WAMS) is applied to the power system, the time delay mainly occurs in the signal measurement and transmission of the power system. When 10MW wind turbines transmit information through complex communication network, time delay often exists, which leads to the degradation of performance and instability for system. This affects the normal operation of a wind farm. Therefore, in this paper, the distributed control problem of doubly fed wind turbines with input time delay is studied based on the Hamiltonian energy theory. Firstly, the Port-controlled Hamiltonian system with Dissipation (PCH-D) model is implemented with the Hamiltonian energy method. Then, the Casimir function is introduced into the PCH-D model of the single wind turbine system to stabilize the time delay. The wind turbine group is regarded as one network and the distributed control strategy is designed, so that the whole wind turbine cluster can remain stable given a time delay occurring in the range of 30–300 ms. Finally, simulation results show that the output power of the wind turbine cluster with input delay converges to the expected value rapidly and remains stable. Additionally, the system error caused by time delay is greatly reduced. This control method can effectively solve the problem of input time delay and improve the stability of the wind turbine cluster. Moreover, the method proposed in this paper can adopt the conventional time step of dynamic simulation, which is more efficient in calculation. This method has adaptability in transient stability analysis of large-scale power system, however, the third-order mathematical model used in this paper cannot be used to analyze the internal dynamics of the whole power converter.
