Comparison between Different Flywheel Configurations in Isolated Wind Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flywheels are typically used as storage elements in isolated wind plants, especially those running at almost constant speed, connected to synchronous generators and diesel engines. Nowadays, systems with variable speed are under development, so the amount of available energy in the flywheel is highly increased. In this paper a comparison between an almost constant speed system and variable speed ones is presented. For variable speed, a wellknown configuration based on power electronic converter with asynchronous machine is analysed. Furthermore, a novel system based on hydrostatic transmission with synchronous generator is also studied. A simulation against wind and load variations has been done in order to compare the behaviour of the different alternatives.

Comparative study of flywheel systems in an isolated wind plant
Flywheels can be used as storage elements in islanded power systems and, as a special case, in isolated wind plants, especially those running at almost constant speed and included as a component in diesel groups. Nowadays, systems with variable speed are under development, so the amount of available energy in the flywheel is highly increased. In this paper, a variable speed flywheel based on hy...
متن کاملComparison of Variable Speed Wind Turbine Control Strategies
Variable speed operation of wind turbines presents certain advantages over constant speed operation. Basically, variable speed wind turbines use the high inertia of the rotating mechanical parts of the system as a flywheel; this helps to smooth power fluctuations and reduces the drive train mechanical stress. Also, variable speed systems could lead to maximise the capture of energy during parti...
متن کاملCoordinated operation of wind turbines and flywheel storage for primary frequency control support
This work assesses the participation of wind power plants in primary frequency control support. To participate in frequency control-related tasks, the wind power plants have to maintain a certain level of power reserves. In this article, the wind power plant is equipped with a flywheel-based storage system to fulfil the power reserve requirements set by the network operator. The article focuses...
متن کاملImprovement of Frequency Fluctuations in Microgrids Using an Optimized Fuzzy P-PID Controller by Modified Multi Objective Gravitational Search Algorithm
Microgrids is an new opportunity to reduce the total costs of power generation and supply the energy demands through small-scale power plants such as wind sources, photo voltaic panels, battery banks, fuel cells, etc. Like any power system in micro grid (MG), an unexpected faults or load shifting leads to frequency oscillations. Hence, this paper employs an adaptive fuzzy P-PID controller for f...
متن کاملEffects of Pitching Motion on Shock Behavior in a Body-Wrap Around Fin Configuration
Unsteady dynamic behavior of TTCP model with different wrap around fin sets were investigated in a trisonic wind tunne. The aerodynamic coefficient force measurement in this wind tunnel shows good agreement in comparison with that of the NASA Langley Research Center in static case. The model was sinusoidally oscillated at three different frequencies of 1, 3 and 8 Hz at M=2.0 and the effects of ...
