Introduction• One of the main problems in wind energy generation is the connection to the grid.

Injection of wind power into the grid affects the power quality resulting in poor performance of the system. The wind energy system faces frequently fluctuating voltage due to the nature of wind and introduction of harmonics into the system. Injection of the wind power into an electric grid affects the power quality. The performance of the wind turbine and thereby power quality are determined on the basis of measurements and the norms followed according to the guideline specified in International Electro-technical Commission standard, IEC-61400. The influence of the wind turbine in the grid system concerning the power quality measurements are-the active power, reactive power, variation of voltage, flicker, harmonics, and electrical behavior of switching operation and these are measured according to national/international guidelines. The paper study demonstrates the power quality problem due to installation of wind turbine with the grid.

Introduction

• Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) Using Large Squirrel Cage/Slip ring Induction Generators– Stand alone-Village Electricity– Electric Grid Connected WECS

• Distributed/Dispersed/Farm Renewable Wind Energy Schemes– Located closer to Load Centers– Low Reliability, Utilization, Security

Motivations

• Energy crisis– Shortage of conventional fossil fuel based energy

– Escalating/rising cost of fossil fuels

• Environmental/Pollution/GHG Issues – Greenhouse gas emission /Carbon Print

– Acid Rain/Smog/VOC-Micro-Particulates

– Water/Air/Soil Pollution &Health Hazards

Motivations

• Large wind farm utilization is also emerging (50MW-250 MW) Sized Using Super Wind driven Turbines 1.6, 3.6, 5 MW Sizes

• Many new interface Regulations/Standards/PQ Requirements regarding full integration of large distributed/dispersed Wind Farms into Utility Grid.

Motivations

• Challenges for Utility Grid–Wind Integration.– Stochastically-Highly Variable wind power injected into the Utility

Grid.

– Increased Wind MW-Power penetration Level.

– Low SCR-Weak Distribution/Sub Transmission/Transmission Networks

- Mostly of a Radial Configuration

- Large R/X ratio distribution Feeder with high Power Losses (4-10 %), Voltage Regulation Problems/Power Quality/Interference Issues.

– Required Reactive Power Compensation & Increased Burden brought by the induction generator

System Description – Wind speed

• The dynamic wind speed model consists of four basic components:– Mean wind speed-14 m/s– Wind speed ramp with a slope of ±5.6– Wind gust

• Ag: the amplitude of the gust• Tsg: the starting time of the gust • Teg: the end time of the gust• Dg = Teg - Tsg

DVR-FACTS Scheme 2

• A combination of series capacitor and shunt capacitor compensation

• Flexible structure modulated by a Tri-loop Error Driven Controller

If S1 is high and S2 is low, both the series and

shunt capacitors are connected into the circuit, while the

resistor and inductor will be fully shorted

If S1 is low and S2 is high, the series capacitor will be removed from the system, the resistor and inductor will be connected to the

shunt capacitors as a tuned arm filter

HPFC-FACTS Scheme 3

• Use of a 6-pulse VSC based APF to have faster controllability and enhanced dynamic performance

• Combination of tuned passive power filter and active power filter to reduce cost

on successive digital simulations – Minimize the objective function-Jo

Conclusions

• Three Novel FACTS-based Converter & Control schemes, namely the MPFC, the DVR, and the HPFC, have been Developed and validated for voltage stabilization, power factor correction and power quality improvement in the distribution network with dispersed wind energy integrated.

Recommendation

• The Low-Cost MPFC-Scheme 1 is preferred for low to medium size wind energy integration schemes (from 600 to 5000 kW).

• The DVR-Scheme 2 is good for Strong AC sub-transmission and distribution systems with large X/R ratio

• The HPFC-Scheme 2 Active Power Filter & Capacitor Compensator is most suitable for Larger Wind-Farms with MW-energy penetration level (100 MW or above).

Recommendation

• The schemes validated in this research need to be fully tested in the distribution network with real dispersed wind energy systems.

• This research can be extended to the grid integration of other dispersed renewable energy.

• Other Artificial Intelligence based control strategies can be investigated in future work.

Conclusions

• A Validation Study of a unified sample study system Using the MATLAB/Simulink

• A dynamic wind speed software model was developed to simulate the varying Random/Stochastic and temporal wind variations in the MATLAB/Simulink

• Three Novel FACTS based Stabilization Schemes were validated using digital simulations

• Novel Control strategies using dynamic Multi-Loop Decoupled Controllers were developed & Validated
