Στις μέρες μας οι συνεχώς αυξανόμενες ενεργειακές ανάγκες, καθώς και η απαίτηση των κοινωνιών για ένα πιο καθαρό περιβάλλον, έχουν κάνει τις ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας όλο και πιο ελκυστικές ως προς την εκμετάλλευση τους. Η αξιοποίηση της αιολικής ενέργειας στην παραγωγή ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας κερδίζει όλο και περισσότερο έδαφος. Η τεχνολογία των αιολικών συστημάτων αναπτύσσεται συνεχώς ,με αποτέλεσμα να υπάρχουν διάφορες κατηγορίες αυτών, ανάλογα με τη χρήση για την οποία προορίζονται. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική μου εργασία, μελετάται ένα αιολικό σύστημα μεταβλητών στροφών που χρησιμοποιεί μία παραλλαγή της επαγωγικής μηχανής Διπλής Τροφοδοσίας. Η διαφοροποίηση του έγκειται στον επιπλέον dc/ac μετατροπέα που χρησιμοποιείται, προκειμένου να ελέγξουμε την τάση που μπορεί να δει ο στάτης. Μ΄ αυτό τον τρόπο, το αιολικό σύστημα μιας γεννήτριας διπλής τροφοδοσίας γίνεται ακόμα πιο αξιόπιστο, συνεχίζοντας την παραγωγή ισχύος και παραμένοντας συνδεδεμένο με το δίκτυο σε περίπτωση σφάλματος στην πλευρά του δικτύου. Στη μελέτη αυτή, αφού εξαγάγαμε το μαθηματικό μοντέλο του συστήματος και το προσομοιώσαμε σε περιβάλλον Matlab - Simulink, δοκιμάσαμε το σύστημα σε συνθήκες ύπαρξης σφάλματος στο δίκτυο. Στο σύστημα εφαρμόστηκαν κλασικές τεχνικές ελέγχου,με στόχο τη διατήρηση της μέγιστης απομάστευσης ισχύος από το σύστημα, την αύξηση της αντοχής του σε σφάλματα από την πλευρά του δικτύου, καθώς και τη μη αποσύνδεση του συστήματος από το δίκτυο σε μία τέτοια περίπτωση. Τέλος, συγκρίναμε τη συμπεριφορά αυτού του συστήματος με τη συμπεριφορά ενός κλασικού αιολικού συστήματος με επαγωγική γεννήτρια Διπλής Τροφοδοσίας και παραθέσαμε τις διαφορές. / The increasingly energy demands in our days and also the modern societies demand for a greener environment, have made the electrical energy production from renewable energy sources more attractive. The use of wind energy in the electrical energy production is having more and more fervent supporters. The technology and the types of the wind systems varies, depending on the use and the environmental conditions. In my diploma thesis I designed, we will study a variation of a wind system with a variable speed operation with a Doubly Fed Induction Generator. In this system we also use a dc/ac converter in order to control the voltage which the stator can “see”. Using this converter the wind system with a DFIG is more reliable and remains connected to the ac grid, maintaining the maximum power production, in case of a fault on grid side. In this thesis, after we made the mathematical model with a great accuracy and simulated using Matlab - Simulink, we tested it under conditions of different voltage sags from the side of the grid. In order to control the system and maintaining the power production power at the maximum level, we used classic control methods, and as a result, we achieved to keep the maximum level of power production and to keep the wind system connected to the grid in a scenario of a grid side fault. Finally, we compared the behavior of the system we designed with the wind system with the classic DFIG and we presented the differences.

Orientador: Dra. Ahda Pionkoski Grilo Pavani / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Elétrica, 2016. / Os Geradores de Indução Duplamente Alimentados, em inglês Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG, representam uma das tecnologias mais empregadas em sistemas eólicos. Devido à natureza intermitente do vento, o controle convencional usado por esses geradores procura operar o gerador em um ponto que garanta a máxima extração de potência da turbina eólica. Entretanto, usando apenas esta filosofia de controle, não é possível que estes geradores participem do controle de frequência da rede elétrica, pois o sistema mecânico e o sistema elétrico estão desacoplados devido à ação do conversor Back-to-Back. Como consequência, o DFIG não apresenta resposta de inércia. No entanto, em sistemas elétricos com alta penetração de geração eólica, ou sistemas que operam de forma ilhada como microrredes, a resposta de inércia do gerador eólico permite um melhor comportamento da frequência elétrica. Neste contexto, neste trabalho é estudado e analisado o comportamento do Gerador de Indução Duplamente Alimentado DFIG contribuindo para o suporte de frequência de uma microrrede, formada a partir de um ilhamento intencional. Para isso, foram realizadas simulações computacionais com ocorrência de ilhamento intencional, em que uma parte da rede de distribuição passa a operar de forma ilhada alimentada por um DFIG e um gerador síncrono. Com os resultados é possível analisar o desempenho do DFIG no suporte de frequência da rede elétrica considerando diferentes metodologias / Doubly Fed Induction Generators DFIG, represent one of the most used in wind power systems technologies. Due to the intermittent nature of wind, the conventional control used by these generators to operate the demand generator at a point that ensures maximum power extraction of the wind turbine. However, using only this control philosophy, it is not possible that these generators participate in frequency control the power supply for the mechanical system and the electrical system are uncoupled due to the action of the Back-to-Back converter. Consequently, the DFIG has not inertia response. However, in electric systems with high penetration of wind power generation, or systems that operate islanded micro-grids way, the wind power generator inertia response allows a better behavior of the electrical frequency. In this context, this work is studied and analyzed the Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG behavior contributing to the frequency support of a micro-grids formed from an unintentional islanding. To this end, computer simulations were performed with the occurrence of unintentional islanding, wherein a part of the distribution network shall operate islanded form fed by a DFIG and a synchronous generator. With the results it is possible to analyze the performance of DFIG in the grid frequency support considering different methodologies.

Abstract<p><p>This thesis deals with the operation of and winding short-circuit fault detection in a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based Wind Turbine Generator System (WTGS). Both the faulted and faultless condition of operation has been studied, where the focus is on the electrical part of the system. The modelled electrical system is first simulated and the developed control system is then validated on a test bench. The test-bench component dimensioning is also discussed.<p><p>The faultless condition deals with the start-up and power production mode of operation. Control design based on the Proportional Integral (PI) control technique has been compared for power and torque control strategies against the Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control technique, at different operating points through the variable-speed region of WTGS operation following the maximum power curve of the system. It was found that the torque control strategy offered less degradation in performance for both the control techniques at operating points different for the one for which the control system was tuned. The start-up procedure of the DFIG based WTGS has been clarified and simplified. The phase difference between the stator and the grid voltage, which occurs due to the arbitrary rotor position when the rotor current control is activated, is minimized by using a sample-and-hold technique which eliminates the requirement of designing an additional controller. This method has been validated both in simulation and experiments.<p><p>The faulted condition of operation deals with the turn-turn short-circuit fault in the phase winding of the generator. The model of the generator, implemented using the winding-function approach, allows the fault to be created online both in a stator and a rotor phase. It has been demonstrated that the magnitude of the current harmonics, used extensively in literature for the Machine Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) technique for winding short-circuit fault detection, is very different when the location of the fault is changed to another coil within the phase winding. This makes the decision on the threshold selection for alarm generation difficult. Furthermore, the control system attenuates the current harmonics by an order of magnitude. This attenuation property is also demonstrated through experiments. The attention is then shifted to the negative-sequence current component, resulting from the winding unbalance, as a possible fault residual. Its suitability is tested in the presence of noise for scenarios with different fault locations, fault severity in terms of the number of shorted-turns and grid voltage unbalance. It is found that due to the presence of a control system the magnitude of the negative-sequence current, resulting from the fault, remains almost the same for all fault locations and fault severity. Thus, it was deemed more suitable as a fault residual. In order to obtain a fast detection method, the Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) algorithm was used. The test function is compared against a threshold, determined on the basis of expected residual magnitude and the time selected for detection, to generate an alarm. The validation is carried out with noise characteristics different from the ones used during the design and it is shown that the voltage unbalance alone is not able to trigger a false alarm. In all the scenarios considered, the detection was achieved within 40 ms despite the presence of measurement filters. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Wind turbine modelling using doubly-fed induction generators is a well-known subject. However, studies have tended to focus on optimising the components of the system rather than considering the interaction between the components. This research examines the interaction of the control methods for a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) in a wind turbine application integrating them with the crowbar protection control and DC-link brake control to make the best use of the converter. The controls of the rotor-side and the grid-side converters of the DFIG model are both well established and have been shown to work. Typically the crowbar protection is designed in order to protect the rotor-side converter and the power electronic components of the DFIG system from high currents occurring in the rotor due to the faults. The DC-link brake-overvoltage protection is also designed to prevent the overcharging of the DC-link capacitor placed between the rotor-side converter and the grid-side converter. In order to show that these protection schemes work and with thought can co-ordinate with each other, tests consisting of a number of balanced three-, two- and one-phase voltage sags are applied to the network voltage. The main contributions of this thesis are establishing operational tuning and design limits for the controllers and system subassemblies. This is to minimise the electrical subsystem interaction while maintaining adequate performance, and have an improved DC-link control. This work also includes a full electrical system study of the wind turbine and an essential literature review on significant references in the field of the DFIG wind turbine system modelling, control and protection. Specifically this research project makes a number of novel contributions to the literature: enhanced DC voltage control including operating point sensitivity analysis and dynamic stiffness assessment, sensitivity and robustness analyses of the power loop control and control loop segmentation by appropriately tuning the controller loops.

Recently, with growing application of wind power, the system based on the doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) has become the one of the most popular concepts. Theproblem of connecting to the grid is also gradually revealed. As an effective solution toconnect offshore wind farm, VSC-HVDC line is the most suitable choice for stabilityreasons. However, there are possibilities that the converter of a VSC-HVDC link canadversely interact with the wind turbine and generate poorly damped sub-synchronousoscillations. Therefore, this master thesis will derive the linear model of a single DFIG aswell as the linear model of several DFIGs connecting to a VSC-HVDC link. For thelinearization method, the Jacobian transfer matrix modeling method will be explainedand adopted. The frequency response and time-domain response comparison betweenthe linear model and the identical system in PSCAD will be presented for validation. / Nyligen, med ökande tillämpning av vindkraft, det system som bygger på den dubbeltmatad induktion generator (DFIG) har blivit en av de mest populära begrepp. Problemetmed att ansluta till nätet är också gradvis avslöjas.

This work proposes recommendations for new guidelines for fault current injection on a distribution grid. These guidelines will help improve the transition towards renewable electrical energy generation. The grid-integration of inverter-based distributed generations (IBDGs) into the distribution grid changes the topology of a conventional grid with one-way power flow to a grid with multi-way power flow. This thesis investigates the impact of fault current injection on a distribution grid, if the limitations in the fault current injection of IBDGs affect the reliable function of the protection system and if there is a preferable type of current control to be prioritised. This investigation was carried out through a literature review and transient state simulations on a model grid in PSCAD. The grid is based on a real radial distribution grid on the Swedish island of Gotland, where a Type III wind turbine generator (WTG) is connected. The limitation on fault current injection by the wind turbine, the location and type of fault in the grid, can affect the reliable function of the protection system. The control system inside a type III WTG affects its fault current injection that impacts fault detection by the protection system. This thesis emphasizes the need for a guideline and requirement on the WTG control system for fault current injection. Prioritising reactive current control (q-axis) seems to be preferable and should become the standard for fault current injection in type III wind turbine generators in this distribution grid, according to this study. Furthermore, the need for more investigation for different types of IBDGs with different control strategies is highlighted in this work. / Detta arbete föreslår rekommendationer för nya riktlinjer för felströmsinjektering i ett distributionsnät. Dessa rekommendationer kommer bidra till att förbättra omställningen till förnyelsebar elgenerering. Integreringen av omriktarbaserade distributionsgeneratorer (IBDG) i distributionsnätet förändrar topologin i ett konventionellt nät med ett enkelriktat effektflöde till ett flervägsriktat effektflöde. Detta examensarbete undersöker påverkan av felströmsinjektering i ett distributionsnät, om begränsningarna i felströmsinjekteringen hos IBDG:er påverkar reläskydds pålitliga funktionalitet och om det finns en typ av kontrollström som föredras och bör prioriteras. Denna undersökning genomfördes genom en litteraturstudie och transienta simuleringar i ett exempelnät i PSCAD. Nätet är baserat på ett verkligt radialdistributionsnät från Gotland, där ett Typ III vindkraftverk (WTG) är anslutet. Begränsningen i felströmsinjektering hos vindkraftverket, platsen för och typen av fel i nätet kan påverka den pålitliga funktionaliteten hos reläskydd. Kontrollsystemet inuti ett Typ III WTG påverkar dess felströmsinjektering som påverkar feldetekteringen i reläskyddet. Detta examensarbete betonar vikten av riktlinjer och krav på WTG kontollsystem för felströmsinjektering. Prioritering av reaktiv kontrollström (q-axis) verkar vara fördelaktigt och bör bli standard för felströminjektering i Typ III WTG i detta distributionsnät, enligt detta arbete. Dessutom påtalas behovet av att ytterligare undersöka olika typer av IBDG:er med olika kontrollstrategier i detta arbete.
