Transient stability augmentation of power system including wind farms by using ECS
Abstract
This paper presents a new method to enhance the transient stability of multimachine power system including wind farms, when a severe network disturbance occurs in the power system. For this purpose, the energy capacitor system (ECS) composed of power electronic devices and electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) is proposed. The control scheme of ECS is based on a sinusoidal PWM voltage source converter (VSC) and fuzzy logic controlled dc-dc buck/boost converter using insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT). Two wind farms are considered to be connected to the power system. Two-mass drive train model of wind turbine generator system (WTGS) is used in the analyses as the drive train modeling has great influence on the dynamic characteristics of WTGS. Real wind speed data are used in the analyses to obtain realistic responses. Different types of symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults are considered as the network disturbance. Simulation results clearly show that the proposed ECS can enhance the transient stability of wind generators in multimachine power system as well as their low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability. © 2008 IEEE.
