Recently, the penetration of renewable energy sources (RESs) into electrical power systems is witnessing a large attention due to their inexhaustibility, environmental benefits, storage capabilities, lower maintenance and stronger economy, etc. Among these RESs, offshore wind plants (OWPP) are ones most widespread that have emerged with regard being competitive other technologies. However, appl...

According to the grid code specifications, low voltage ride-through (LVRT) is one of key factors for grid-tied wind farms (WFs). Since fixed-speed turbines with squirrel cage induction generators (FSWT-SCIGs) require an adequate quantity reactive power throughout transient period, conventional WF consisting SCIG do not typically have LVRT capabilities that may cause instability in system. Howev...

<span lang="EN-US">This article focuses on the control of STATCOM for improvement reactive power compensation during grid faults and unbalanced load. The problem encountered with convectional voltage source converter based management capacitor balancing are analyzed its operational limitations studied. To remove above problems, an adaptive low ride through technique modular double star ca...

Due to the increasing number of wind power plants, several countries have modified their grid codes to include specific requirements for the connection of this technology to the power system. One of the requirements is the ride-through fault capability (RTFC), i.e., the system capability to sustain operation during voltage sags. In this sense, the present paper intends to investigate the behavi...

Grid faults are found to be one of the major issues in renewable energy systems, particularly wind conversion systems (WECS) connected grid via back-to-back (BTB) converters. Under such faulty conditions, system requires an effective regulation active (P) and reactive (Q) power accomplish low voltage ride through (LVRT) operation accordance with codes. In this paper, improved finite-control-set...
