Research on hydraulic wind turbine semi-physical simulation platform

According to a research on the 30kVA simulation experimental platform of hydraulic wind tur- bine, its basic structure, composition and operation principle are expounded in this paper. An in- verter motor is used to simulate the wind turbine, while a similarity calculation method is applied be- tween the small and large wind turbine. A fixed displacement pump-variable motor closed loop is used as the main transmission system, and a self-excited synchronous generator generates electricity through the grid connection. The experiment and simulation study on the speed and power control of the hydraulic wind turbine is conducted, based on the experimental platform, thus correctness and progressiveness of the experiment platform is further verified.

The Least Order Observer Based Sensorless Control of PMSG in Direct-Drive Wind Turbines

Permanent magnet synchronous Generator （PMSG） based direct-drive wind energy conversion system （WECS） has been attracting wide attentions. For the special application, sensorless control for PMSG is desired. By widely studying the previous contributes, a novel estimator based on back-EMF is proposed. The estimator is composed of back-EMF observer and a phase-lock-loop （PLL） control to get the rotor-flux speed and position. The estimator not only can be used for interior and surface permanent magnet synchronous generators, but also has a compact and symmetrical structure, which makes it be beneficial for implementation. Compared with previous strategies, the EMF observer is independent of the PLL control, which would simplify the observer design. Meanwhile, the proposed estimator is less sensitive to parameter variations. Based on mathematic models of PMSG, the proposed estimator was analyzed in detail, and the realizing process was also presented. To validate the proposed estimator, the important experiment results are reported.

Seismic Centrifuge Modelling of Offshore Wind Turbine with Tripod Foundation

The development of offshore wind energy is fast as it is clean, safe and of high efficiency. The harsh marine environment raises high demand on the foundation design of offshore wind turbine. Earthquake loading is one of the most significant factors which should be considered in the design phase. In this paper, a group of earthquake centrifuge tests were conducted on a physical wind turbine model with tripod foundation. The seismic responses of both wind turbine model and foundation soil were analyzed in terms of the recorded accelerations, pore water pressures, lateral displacements and settlements. The results were also compared with those measured in the previous research on mono-pile foundation. It is demonstrated that the tripod foundation can provide better resistance in the lateral displacement and structural settlement under earthquake loading.

Influence of DFIG Wind Turbine Protection and Control during Voltage Dip on Circuit Breaker Operation

This paper analyzes a DFIG （doubly fed induction generator） WT （wind turbine） fault current after a symmetrical network voltage dip. The goal is to identify the factors determining how fast the first zero crossings of the fault current occur. This is an important subject because the ftmdamental property of the CB （circuit breaker） is that it breaks the current when the current is very near zero. The study was conducted using a hardware-in-the-loop test environment constructed using two real time simulators （dSPACE and RTDS） and a commercial protection relay. It is found that the reactive current injection during a voltage dip demanded by the grid codes enhances the operation of the WT protection because the zero crossings of the currents through CB are attained earlier. In addition, the size of the crowbar resistance has a significant influence on the zero crossings.

Analysis of Offshore Wind Power： Application to Southern Thailand

This paper presents an analysis of a pre-feasibility study of a 10 MW offshore wind power project in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand. The wind speeds at the hub heights of large scale wind turbine generators （WTG）, i.e. 80-100 m, were extrapolated using monthly mean wind shear coefficients and the l/7th exponent. Using WAsP 9.0, the annual energy production from several models of offshore wind farms using different WTG was analyzed. The capacity factor and the cost of energy were then computed. Using best available estimates, the analysis shows that the estimated annual mean offshore wind speeds at 80-100 m were in the range of 6.4 and 8.3 m/s. The annual energy production by the wind farm from nine models of wind turbine generators were in the range of 20-39 GWh/year, corresponding to a capacity factor in the range of 26-46%, while the cost of energy was 12-15 US cent/kWh.

Eigenvalue Analysis of Distributed Generation Including Multimass Turbine Model

This paper presents small-signal study based on eigenvalue analysis as a preliminary study to observe the interaction between multimass turbine-generator system and inverter-based distributed generation in a microgrid. The multimass turbine model is included in the overall distributed generation system model. Two case studies are demonstrated to observe the interaction between turbine-generator set and power electronics-based distributed generation system. Both case studies are in stand-alone and grid-connected operation. It can be shown that under stand-alone operation, unstable oscillatory modes may occur and be highly influenced by the operating points of the system.

Distinguishability analysis of controller parameters with applications to DFIG based wind turbine

The power system controllers normally have more than one parameter.The distinguishability analysis of the controller parameters is to identify whether the optimal set of the parameters of the controllers is unique.It is difficult to obtain the analytic relationship between the objective of the optimization and the controller parameters,which means that the analytical method is not suitable for the distinguishability analysis.Therefore,a trajectory sensitivity based numerical method for the distinguishability analysis of the controller parameters is proposed in this paper.The relationship between the distinguishability and the sensitivities of the parameters is built.The magnitudes of the sensitivities are used to identify the key parameters,while the phase angles of the sensitivities are used to analyze the distinguishability of the key parameters.The distinguishability of the controller parameters of wind turbine with DFIG is studied using the proposed method,and dynamic simulations are performed to verify the results of the distinguishability analysis.
