In view of a serious threat for the transient stability of the power system being caused by the large-scale wind farms integration, and combining with advantages of STATCOM which can quickly restore the fault voltage and fastly, flexibly and smoothly compensate the reactive power, a method is proposed using STATCOM controller of to improve transient stability of the power system integrated by large-scale wind farms. The control strategy of the STATCOM controller uses adaptive double loop control. The role of the device to improvement transient stability of the power system is studied under the condition of serious fault. by simulation comparison with the condition without STATCOM controller installed at the same place. The simulation results show that the STATCOM controller can clearly improve transient stability of the power system integrated by large-scale wind farms.

Some faults will result wind turbine generators off-grid due to low grid voltage , furthermore, large-scale wind farms tripping can result in severe system oscillation and aggravate system transient instability . In view of this, static compensator (STATCOM) is installed in the grid containing large-scale wind farm. A voltage feedforward control strategy is proposed to adjust the reactive power of STATCOM compensation and ensure that the grid voltage is quickly restored to a safe range. The mathematical model of the doubly-fed induction wind generator (DFIG) is proposed. The control strategy of DFIG uses PI control for rotor angular velocity and active power. 4-machine system simulation results show that the STATCOM reactive power compensation significantly improve output active power of large-scale wind farm satisfying transient stability, reduce the probability of the tripping, and improve the utilization efficiency of wind farms.

This paper presents a new intelligent control strategy to augment the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) potential of photovoltaic (PV) plants, and the transient stability of a complete grid system. Modern grid codes demand that a PV plant should be connected to the main power system during network disturbance, providing voltage support. Therefore, in this paper, a novel fuzzy logic controller (FLC) using the controlled cascaded strategy is proposed for the grid side converter (GSC) of a PV plant to guarantee voltage recovery. The proposed FLC offers variable gains based upon the system requirements, which can inject a useful amount of reactive power after a severe network disturbance. Therefore, the terminal voltage dip will be low, restoring its pre-fault value and resuming its operation quickly. To make it realistic, the PV system is linked to the well-known IEEE nine bus system. Comparative analysis is shown—using power system computer-aided design/electromagnetic transients including DC (PSCAD/EMTDC) software—between the conventional proportional–integral (PI) controller-based cascaded strategy and the proposed control strategy to authenticate the usefulness of the proposed strategy. The comparative simulation results indicate that the transient stability and the LVRT capability of a grid-tied PV system can be augmented against severe fault using the proposed FLC-based cascaded GSC controller.

Along with the increasing of wind power penetration in the grid, much attention has been paid to the high voltage ride through (HVRT) capability of double fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind parks. To regulate the reactive power dynamically, the distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) has been considered to be a valid method. In this paper, the D-STATCOM device is applied to enhance the HVRT capability of DFIG during a symmetrical voltage swell at the grid side. The function, The configuration, operating principle and feed-forward decoupling control strategy is presented, finally the model of power system containing DFIG based wind farms and D-STATCOM is established in the environment of PSCAD/EMTDC, HVRT during symmetrical grid voltage swell is simulated. The validity of the proposed control strategy is verified by the simulation results.

This paper proposes an active-current control strategy for large-scale wind turbines (WTs) to improve the transient stability of power systems based on a perturbation estimation (PE) approach. The main idea of this control strategy is to mitigate the generator imbalance of mechanical and electrical powers by controlling the active-current of WTs. The effective mutual couplings of synchronous generators and WTs are identified using a Kron-reduction technique first. Then, the control object of each WT is assigned based on the identified mutual couplings. Finally, an individual controller is developed for each WT using a PE approach. In the control algorithm, a perturbation state (PS) is introduced for each WT to represent the comprehensive effect of the nonlinearities and parameter variations of the power system, and then it is estimated by a designed perturbation observer. The estimated PS is employed to compensate the actual perturbation, and to finally achieve the adaptive control design without requiring an accurate system model. The effectiveness of the proposed control approach on improving the system transient stability is validated in the modified IEEE 39-bus system.

As large-scale wind farms are connected to the grid, a single type compensator cannot meet the demand. STATCOM has ability of rapid reaction and harmonics suppression, SVC can compensate large capacity reactive power. In this study, a compensator, which is able to coordinate Static Var System (SVS) with STATCOM is proposed. Large-scale wind power integration is simulated respectively with the compensator of STATCOM alone and coordinated compensator of SVS and STATCOM by DIgSILENT/Powerfactory15.0. Simulations results clearly verify that the compensator of SVS and STATCOM improves transient stability and performance of the photovoltaic systems.

In this paper, a control strategy for operation of rotor side converter (RSC) of Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) is developed by injecting reactive power into the grid in order to support the grid voltage during and after grid fault events. The novel nonlinear control method is based on differential geometry theory, and exact feedback linearization is applied for control system design of DFIG. Then the optimal control for the linearized system is obtained through introducing the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) design method. Simulation results on a single machine infinite bus power system show that the proposed nonlinear control method can inject reactive power to fault grid rapidly, reduce the oscillation of active power and improve the transient stability of power system.

Large-scale wind farms in commercial operations have demonstrated growing influence on the stability of an electricity network and the power quality thereof. Variations in the output power of large-scale wind farms cause voltage fluctuations in the corresponding electrical networks. To achieve low-voltage ride-through capability in a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) during a fault event, this study proposes a real-time reactive power control strategy for effective DFIG application and a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) for reactive power compensation. Mathematic models were developed for the DFIG and STATCOM, followed by the development of an indirect control scheme for the STATCOM based on decoupling dual-loop current control. Moreover, a real-world case study on a commercial wind farm comprising 23 DFIGs was conducted. The voltage regulation performance of the proposed reactive power control scheme against a fault event was also simulated. The simulation results revealed that enhanced fault ride-through capability and prompt recovery of the output voltage provided by a wind turbine generator could be achieved using the DFIG along with the STATCOM in the event of a three-phase short-circuit fault.
