Novel active-passive compensator-supercapacitor modeling for low-voltage ride-through capability in DFIG-based wind turbines
Özet
Low-voltage ride-through is important for the operation stability of the system in balanced- and unbalanced-grid-fault-connected doubly fed induction generator-based wind turbines. In this study, a new LVRT capability approach was developed using positive-negative sequences and natural and forcing components in DFIG. Besides, supercapacitor modeling is enhanced depending on the voltage-capacity relation. Rotor electro-motor force is developed to improve low-voltage ride-through capability against not only symmetrical but also asymmetrical faults of DFIG. The performances of the DFIG with and without the novel active-passive compensator-supercapacitor were compared. Novel active-passive compensator-supercapacitor modeling in DFIG was carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. A comparison of the system behaviors was made between three-phase faults, two-phase faults and a phase-ground fault with and without a novel active-passive compensator-supercapacitor modeling. Parameters for the DFIG including terminal voltage, angular speed, electrical torque variations and d-q axis rotor-stator current variations, in addition to a 34.5 kV bus voltage, were investigated. It was found that the system became stable in a short time and oscillations were damped using novel active-passive compensator-supercapacitor modeling and rotor EMF.
