Abstract

High penetration of wind power into the grid necessitates the coordinated action of wind energy conversion systems and the grid. A suitable generation control is required to fulfill the grid integration requirements, especially during faults. A system using a pair of voltage source converters with a squirrel cage induction generator coupled to a wind turbine is proposed to provide fault ride-through during grid faults. A threefold action is used for providing the effective fault ride-through via coordinated action of the machine side and the grid side converter. The entire wind energy conversion system is controlled such that the wind turbine remains connected even during the faults. To implement the threefold action: (i) A decoupled current controller is placed in the grid side converter, which separately controls the positive and negative sequence currents arising during faults. The grid side converter controller is capable of eliminating the double frequency oscillations at the dc-link voltage and, hence, real power, which arises during the unsymmetrical faults; (ii) Reactive power injection is additionally provided by the grid side converter for better grid support; and (iii) The vector control technique is used in machine side converter along with the droop control to adjust the generator speed and the torque resulting in actuation of the pitch control mechanism to limit power generation without shutdown of the turbine.
