This paper presents a coordinated control strategy for a hybrid wind farm with doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)and direct-driven permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbines under symmetrical grid faults. The proposed low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) strategy is based on a novel current allocation principle and is implemented for individual DFIGor PMSG-based wind turbin...

Original scientific paper The determination of the optimal wind power integration capacity of a large-scale wind farm has become an important issue in power system operation and planning. Reasonable wind power integration capacity can improve the wind energy utilization and save investment for wind farm construction. This paper builds a mathematical model for determining wind farm optimal integ...

Different models for monitoring wind farm power output are considered. Data mining and evolutionary computation are integrated for building the models for prediction and monitoring. Different models using wind speed as input to predict the total power output of a wind farm are compared and analyzed. The k-nearest neighbor model, combined with the principal component analysis approach, outperfor...

The contribution of this paper is the formulation of the wind farm power maximization problem as a multi-stage dynamic programming problem. This formulation is made possible by introducing a state-space model to describe the evolution of the wind velocity profile as a function of the free-stream wind velocity and the wind turbine control variables. This state-space model is coupled with a multi...

Using the FACTS controllers, such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), as it provides continuous reactive power, in the grid including wind turbine (WT) equipped with doubly fed induction generator, for improving voltage profile (under normal circumstances) and providing a transition ability from inductor generator transition state has been proposed. In this paper, in order to contr...

Distributed generation is a flexible and effective way to utilize renewable energy. The dispersed generators are quite close to the load, and pose some power quality problems such as harmonic current emissions. This paper focuses on the harmonic propagation and interaction between a small-scale wind farm and nonlinear loads in the distribution grid. Firstly, by setting the wind turbines as P – ...

Growing concerns about the environmental impact of fossil fuel energy and improvements in both the cost and performance of wind turbine technologies has spurred a sharp expansion in wind energy generation. However, both the increasing size of wind farms and the increased contribution of wind energy to the overall electricity generation market has created new challenges. As wind farms grow in si...

The fast and coordinated voltage control of distributed nodes inside a large scale wind farm is a stringent issue. To achieve the reactive power compensation without a dedicated upper communication system, this paper proposes a relative control strategy based on the local reactive power regulation. This method can realize the voltage coordination of the key equipment and feeder line nodes, on t...

Hybrid utilization of renewable energy is one of effective method which can solve the problem that unstable of renewable energy so as not to substitute traditional fossil energy. As the typical renewable energy, solar energy and wind energy are in the van of renewable energy utilization. With the large scale utilization of solar and wind energy in the world, constructing large scale solar power...
