Fault Ride Through Strategy of DFIG Using Rotor Voltage Direct Compensation Control Under Voltage Phase Angle Jump

Wind power has developed rapidly in recent years,and large-scale wind power facilities connected to power grids will bring many new challenges.Some new operation charac-teristics of power grids with doubly-fed induction generator(DFIG)may exhibit,for example voltage phase angle jumps(VPAJ).VPAJ can negatively impact the fault ride through(FRT)performance of DFIG.This paper firstly investigates the physical mechanism and the operation characteristics of DFIG with VPAJ.It is noted that the current control strategies designed for voltage amplitude changes are not suitable for VPAJ.Secondly,the paper develops an FRT optimization control strategy under VPAJ which optimizes the DFIG operation characteristics.Finally,simulations of a 250 MW wind farm are presented which validate the proposed FRT strategy.

Voltage phase angle jump characteristic of DFIGs in case of weak grid connection and grid fault

In the condition of connecting large scale doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) into weak grid,the closely coupled interactions between wind generators and power grid becomes more severe.Some new fault characteristics including voltage phase angle jump will emerge,which will influence the power quality of power system.However,there are very few studies focusing on the mechanism of voltage phase angle jump under grid fault in a weak grid with wind turbine integration.This paper focuses on the scientific issues and carries out mechanism studies from different aspects,including mathematical deduction,field data analysis and time domain simulation.Based on the analysis of transientcharacteristics of DFIGs during the grid fault,this paper points out that the change of terminal voltage phase angle in DFIGs is an electromagnetism transition process,which is different from conventional synchronous generator.Moreover,the impact on transient characteristics of voltage phase angle are revealed in terms of fault ride through(FRT) control strategies,control parameters of current inner-loop of rotor-side converter and grid strength.

Transient characteristics and adaptive fault ride through control strategy of DFIGs considering voltage phase angle jump

Wind power in China has experienced fast development in recent years. However, areas rich in wind power resources are often far away from loads centers,which leads to weak connection between wind turbines and power grid. When a grid fault occurs, new transient characteristics in weak grid integrated with doubly-fed induction generators(DFIGs) may present, such as voltage phase angle jump. Current control strategies for wind turbine with strong grid connection are hard to be adapted under weak gird connection. This paper explores the transient characteristics of DFIGs under voltage phase angle jump through analyzing the operation and control characteristics of DFIGs connected into weak grid when the voltage phase angle jumps. Fault ride through(FRT) control strategy of DFIGs based on adaptive phase-locked loop is proposed to adapt weak grid condition. The reference frame of the proposed strategy will be changed in real-time to track the operation condition of DFIGs according to the terminal voltage, and different phase tracking method is adopted during the grid fault. Field data analysis and time domain simulation are carried out. The results show that voltage phase angle jumps when a grid fault occurs, which weakens the FRT capability of DFIGs, and the proposed FRT control strategy can optimize transient characteristics of DFIGs, and improve the FRT capability of DFIGs.

Over Voltage Fault due to Disconnection of Consumer’s Transformer Neutral Wire

Practically,the load currents in three phases are asymmetric in the power system.It means that the impedances are different in all three phases.If the consumer’s transformer neutral cut off and/or was disconnected from the neutral of power supply source,then there will be some trouble and failure occurred.The current in the neutral wire drops down to zero when the neutral wire is cut off and the phase currents of all three-phase equal to each other since there was no return wire.The currents are equal but the voltages at the phase consumers are different.Especially for residential single-phase consumers,the voltage at the consumers of the phase varies differently for three phase systems when the neutral wire was disconnected at consumer side and even the voltage at the consumers one or two of those three phases becomes over nominal voltage or reaches nearly line voltage.In this case,the electronic appliances in that phase will be fed by high voltage than the rated value and they can be broken down.In the power system of UB(Ulaanbaatar)city,there are some occasional such kind of failures every year.Obviously,many electronic appliances were broken down due to high voltage and the electricity utility companies respond for service charge of damaged parts.

FRT Control Method Including Islanding Detection in PCS Model for Photovoltaic Generation

The experimental results by the simulated PV （photovoltaic） system for understanding the cause of disconnection when instantaneous voltage sag occurs are reported in this study. Moreover, it is understood that the PCS with the voltage phase jump detection method which is one of the main causes of the disconnection. We modeled it in the simulation. When fault occurs, even though the residual voltage is more than 20% and the voltage sag time is within 1.0 s, the PCS disconnected by the voltage phase jump detection was confirmed in the simulation results. Ifa large number of PV systems are interconnected in the power system, this study is verified through the simulation that the interaction caused by the disconnection which generated by the voltage phase jump detection. This study is proposed threshold limit value of islanding detection. The validity of proposed method was verified through the simulation in this study.

Nonlinear Model Predictive Controller for Compensations of Single Line-to-ground Fault in Resonant Grounded Power Distribution Networks

An nonlinear model predictive controller(NMPC)is proposed in this paper for compensations of single line-to-ground(SLG)faults in resonant grounded power distribution networks(RGPDNs),which reduces the likelihood of power line bushfire due to electric faults.Residual current compensation(RCC)inverters with arc suppression coils(ASCs)in RGPDNs are controlled using the proposed NMPC to provide appropriate compensations during SLG faults.The proposed NMPC is incorporated with the estimation of ASC inductance,where the estimation is carried out based on voltage and current measurements from the neutral point of the power distribution network.The compensation scheme is developed in the discrete time using the equivalent circuit of RGPDNs.The proposed NMPC for RCC inverters ensures that the desired current is injected into the neutral point during SLG faults,which is verified through both simulations and control hardware-in-the-loop(CHIL)validations.Comparative results are also presented against an integral sliding mode controller(ISMC)by demon-strating the capability of power line bushfire mitigation.

A low power CMOS VCO using inductive-biasing with high performance FoM

A novel voltage-controlled oscillator（VCO） topology with low voltage and low power is presented. It employed the inductive-biasing to build a feedback path between the tank and the MOS gate to enhance the voltage gain from output nodes of the tank to the gate node of the cross-coupled transistor. Theoretical analysis using timevarying phase noise theory derives closed-form symbolic formulas for the 1/f^2 phase noise region, showing that this feedback path could improve the phase noise performance. The proposed VCO is fabricated in TSMC 0.13 m CMOS technology. Working under a 0.3 V supply voltage with 1.2 m W power consumption, the measured phase noise of the VCO is –119.4 d Bc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency from the carrier of 4.92 GHz, resulting in an Fo M of 192.5 d Bc/Hz.
