A new application of Vector Based Current Regulator for STATCOM to improve dynamic performance of DFIG
Wind turbine generator (WTG) installation has been rapidly growing globally in the last few years. In the year of 2017, the WTG installation has reached a global cumulative installation of about 539 GW. Among several types of WTG, the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) has been taking a large portion of the overall WTG installation since 2004. This popularity is due to the DFIG several advantages that include more extracted energy when compared with the fixed speed type and low cost due to the one-third size of the used converters when compared to the full converter type. However, the DFIG is vulnerable to grid faults. In this paper, a new application of Vector Based Hysteresis Current Regulator (VBHCR) of STATCOM is introduced to enhance the dynamic performance of DFIG-based wind turbine farm. The system under study is investigated using Matlab. Robustness of the proposed VBHCR is investigated through exploring the system performance under various levels of voltage sags. Simulation results show that for certain level of voltage sags at the point of common coupling (PCC), VBHCR-STATCOM can effectively improve the performance of the DFIG. As a result, voltage profile at the PCC can comply with the fault ride through codes of Spain to avoid the disconnection of the DFIGs from the grid.
Zaprezentowano nowy sterownik do turbiny wiatrowej DFIG – Vector Based Hysteresis Current Regulator VBHCR systemu STATCOM umożliwiający poprawę dynamiki. Zbadano pracę układu przy różnych poziomach zapadu napięcia. Stwierdzono poprawę dynamiki i zabezpieczenie przed odłączeniem generatora od sieci.
