The system consists of 10 PV panels, a DC/AC inverter, and a grid connected gross meter. Solar electricity delivered to grid is verified with the results from a computer simulation package (PVSYST) by adopting the installed component specifications, operation conditions, and weather data of the site. The results show high consistency between the values of energy delivered to the grid measured by the energy company and the energy estimated by system simulation. New system performance indicator is developed and called the optimum performance compliance ratio (PCR). It is a measure of the compliance of the output of the designed PV system with the output which would be produced by the same system with a solar tracker. This indicator provides system designers, contractors and energy providers with the actual capacity of the system that they can offer the end-users.展开更多

The 3-phase grid connected converter with decoupling control give an independent control between active and reactive power using the load current feed-forward. With this technique, the disturbance rejection and the output power quality can be improved. Experiments are conducted with three case studies: 1) a test of the DIDB converter to determine current ripple and voltage gain, 2) a test of the 3-phase grid connected converter to determine DC-link voltage regulation, power factor and total harmonic distortion (THD), and 3) a test of the overall system with a 7.5 kW wind turbine simulator by step and various input wind speeds to determine the output power at the grid side and verify the maximum peak power tracking (MPPT) performance. The results can confirm that the DIDB converter gives lower ripple current and higher voltage gain than the conventional converter. For the grid side, the 3-phase grid connected converter can regulate the DC-link with fast dynamic response to disturbance rejection and low overshoot while complying with the THD standard defined in IEEE 519-1992. In addition, the MPPT controller is able to achieve the maximum energy capture with the various input wind speeds.展开更多

The power grid architecture in these regions is typically not sufficiently strong, and the energy structure is relatively simple. Thus, connecting large-capacity wind power units complicates the peak load regulation and stable operation of the power grids in these regions. Most wind turbines use power electronic converter technology, which affects the safety and stability of the power grid differently compared with conventional synchronous generators. Furthermore, fluctuations in wind power cause fluctuations in the output of wind farms, making it difficult to create and implement suitable power generation plans for wind farms. The generation technology and grid connection scheme for wind power and conventional thermal power generation differ considerably. Moreover, the active and reactive power control abilities of wind turbines are weaker than those of thermal power units, necessitating additional equipment to control wind turbines. Hence, to address the aforementioned issues with large-scale wind power generation, this study analyzes the differences between the grid connection and collection strategies for wind power bases and thermal power plants. Based on this analysis, the differences in the power control modes of wind power and thermal power are further investigated. Finally, the stability of different control modes is analyzed through simulation. The findings can be beneficial for the planning and development of large-scale wind power generation farms.展开更多

文摘A lot of individual electricity sources of small power common (called distributed generation) occurred in Polish power sector during the last period. Gradual increases of distributed generation will cover current and future demand of consumers as well as allow to keep essential reserves in distribution and transmission grids. Emphasizing on this problem can upgrade economic efficiency and grid significance of distributed generation for investors and distribution utilities in Poland.
文摘In this paper the operation of a three level H-bridge converter as well as its parallel operations is analyzed and simulated on the computer. Based on the simulation results the operating behavior between (a) a three level H-bridge neutral point clamped convener, (b) a three level back-to-back H-bridge neutral point clamped convener, (c) two three level H-bridge neutral point clamped converters parallel connected is being compared. From the simulation results it is obvious that in the first two cases the ripples, the distortion in primary and secondary winding currents, and the power factor are quite satisfactory and almost identical to each other. In the third case as compared with the first two, it is observed that current harmonics with higher amplitude appear in the primary winding of the transformer.
文摘The challenges and the path towards a(more)electronic transmission and distribution(eT&D)is presented in this paper.The challenges are first identified together with key stakeholders in the drive for grid modernization.A fundamental question is then asked about the investment priority.Six basic characteristics are reviewed,leading to the composition of structured microgrids as the basic functional cell of a modern grid.One example of fractal radial structure and one fractal meshed structure are presented.The likely evolution path is then proposed together with basic technology sets.Specific foundation technologies are discussed in detail,including adiabatic power conversion,3MC technology,medium voltage conversion,distribution-level electronic power transformer and FACTs hardware integration,and back-to-back converters as a universal interconnect element.The rapidly emerging on-wire sensing technology is also discussed.It is pointed out that the distribution-level large electronic power transformer will provide a key component to enable hybrid ac/dc grid flow control and ancillary support for a flexible electronic transmission and distribution(eT&D)systems.

文摘A modular DC/DC conversion system with distributed MPPT and centralized step-up converter for photovoltaic energy integrated into HVDC grids is proposed in this paper.The conversion system consists of two power stages,with MPPT converter as the first stage and a step-up converter as the second stage.Both stages are modular structures.For the distributed MPPT stage,interleaved boost topology is utilized to effectively reduce the input and output ripples without adding extra components.For the centralized step-up stage,narrow-switching-frequency-variation LLC topology is employed,with the modules being configured as input-parallel-output-series structure.Full-range soft-switching property is achieved in the LLC stage to minimize switching losses.Theoretical analysis is carried out for the system voltage gain and design principles.Simulation and experimental results of a 3kW prototype system are presented to verify the theoretical analysis of the proposed system.
文摘In this paper, based on the analysis of the mathematical model in a common synchronous reference frame of the brushless doubly-fed generator (BDFG), the grid connection strategy and maximum energy extraction control were both analyzed. Besides, the transient simula- tion of no-load model and generation model of the BDFG have been developed on the MATLAB/Simulink platform. The test results during cutting-in grid confirmed the good dynamic performance of grid synchronization and effective power control approach for the BDFG-based variable speed wind turbines.
