PROJECT TITLE :

Solid-State Transformer Interfaced Permanent Magnet Wind Turbine Distributed Generation System with Power Management Functions - 2017

ABSTRACT:

The higher penetration of wind energy poses increasing demand for grid support and power management functions of a wind energy conversion system (WECS). This paper investigates a medium-voltage solid-state transformer (SST)-interfaced permanent magnet synchronous generator system with integrated active power management and reactive power compensation functions. Specifically, a WECS consisting of wind turbines, SSTs, and dc masses is presented. Additionally, a distributed power management algorithm is proposed for a dc network with local wind turbine controls incorporated to attain a self-contained power-balanced condition without the need for energy storage or Communication devices. Eventualities thought-about embrace the grid-connected mode, the islanding mode, and therefore the mode transitions. Simulation results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Additionally, the concept is experimentally verified using a scaled-down laboratory prototype.
