This paper proposes a Configuration method for energy storage (ES), in which the ES inertia of ES is equal to an equal capacity synchronous generator. The purpose is to enhance the frequency modulation capability of double-fed induction generator (DFIG) and wind power consumption. Through the proposed method, the system inertia can remain unchanged after the DFIGs replacing the conventional turbines. During the DFIG rotor speed recovery, the ES releases energy to compensate for sudden changes in active power. On this basis, the DFIG and ES structure model is created, and the ES control strategy is optimized, thereby effectively improving the DFIG frequency modulation capability. Besides, in the non-frequency modulation period, the ES is used to suppress wind power fluctuations, thereby improving system wind power consumption and ES utilization. Simulation results indicate, in the ES-embedded wind turbine structure model, the combination of the ES Configuration method and multi-functional strategy significantly improves the frequency modulation ability and anti-interference performance of a single DFIG. Moreover, the wind power consumption and ES utilization are improved, and the ES achieves additional value.

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.

Energy Conversion Systems

In recent years, wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) have been growing rapidly. Due to various advantages, a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is an appealing solution among different types of wind generators. As wind power penetration level in the grid increases, wind power impacts the grid and vice versa. The most essential concerns in the system are voltage sag and swell, and grid code compliance, particularly for low voltage ride-through (LVRT) and high voltage ride-through (HVRT) capability, is a pressing necessity. This paper presents a parallel capacitor (PC) control strategy to enhance the LVRT and HVRT capability of PMSG. Furthermore, this study presents a method for the sizing of a PC system for the reduction of the overvoltage of the DC-link during voltage sags and swell. Fast Fourier transform analysis is used to determine the total harmonic distortion (THD) for the injected current into the grid. The obtained results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed system in keeping the DC-link voltage below the limit, power quality improvement, and increasing the LVRT and HVRT capability. Models of wind turbine, PMSG, and PC control system are built using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

Operational Issues

It is well known that the wind power has definitely certain impact on the grid power. Issues associated with the integration of wind power into the utility grid are interface issues, operational issues and planning issues. Interface issues include harmonics, reactive power consumption, voltage regulation and frequency control. Operational issues are intermittent power generation, operating reserve requirements, unit commitment and economic despatch. And planning issues are concerned with intermittent wind resources compared to conventional power resources. An important question, when connecting the wind turbine generators to the utility grid, is how much the power / voltage quality will be influenced, since the power production by wind turbines is intermittent, quantity wise as well as quality wise. This paper is focused on the on comparison between the constant speed wind turbines and variable speed wind turbines, reactive power consumption and harmonics generated by both wind turbines. Total harmonic distortion is calculated by the application of C++ software and a comparison is done between the generators with respect to the harmonics. It is observed that constant speed wind turbine generates low order harmonics and variable speed turbine generates high order harmonics. On the basis of results, some solutions are suggested to improve the wind power quality and to reduce reactive power consumption. It seems that variable speed wind turbines with electronic interface are better with respect to the utility grid point of view.
