A New control strategy of DFIG

based Wind farms for Power system
frequency regulation
AbstractAs doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) are connected to the power system by the
converters which decouple the rotor speed and the grid frequency, high penetration of DFIG based wind
farms may cause the lack of power system equivalent rotation inertia and primary frequency control
contribution. In order to improve the DFIGs contribution to system frequency regulation, this paper
presents a new integrated frequency control strategy combining the inertial control and pitch angle
control. With the proposed control strategy, DFIGs will release kinetic energy to support the power
system inertia and make use of reserved capacity to participate the long-term frequency control. A power
system including synchronous generators and DFIG-based wind farm is modeled in MATLAB/Simulink
and the control strategy is validated in simulation studies. The results show that DFIGs with proposed
control strategy can provide effective inertia support and reduce the static error of post-disturbance grid
frequency.

2. Stability Enhancement of Wind

Power System by
using Energy Capacitor System
AbstractThis paper presents Permanent Magnet Synchronous generator (PMSG) based a variable speed wind
turbine systems including energy capacitor system (ECS). The ECS is the combination of electric double layer
capacitor (EDLC) known as super capacitor and power electronic devices for wind power application with its detailed
modeling and control strategy which can supply smooth electrical power to the power grid and makes the system
better stable and reliable. As generated power from wind fluctuates randomly, the objective of this control system is
to select a line power reference level and to follow the reference level by absorbing or providing active power to or
from ECS to smooth output power fluctuation penetrated to the grid and to keep the wind farm terminal voltage at a
desired level by supplying necessary reactive power. The performance of the proposed system is investigated by
simulation analysis.

3. Over-Voltage Mitigation Control

Strategies for
Distribution System with High PV
Penetration
AbstractThis paper proposes a voltage-control strategy for the distribution system with high photovoltaic (PV)
penetration to reduce the voltage rise and comply with the voltage regulation limits. The control strategy can lower
feed-in active-power curtailment of the PV systems simultaneously to solve the overvoltage problem. The proposed
voltage-control strategy is realized by managing the transformer on-load tap changer (OLTC), the energy storage
system (ESS), and real and reactive power control of the PV inverters. Furthermore, to optimize capacities of the ESS
and the PV inverters, a two-level optimization procedure based on particle swam optimization (PSO) and dynamic
programming (DP) is proposed. To verify the feasibility of the proposed strategy, real data of PV power generation
and load profile are used to analyze the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, comparisons are made for
the proposed method and the reference method. The simulated numerical results reveal that the proposed strategy
can provide more effective voltage-control and increase economic benefits, as compared with the reference method.
