Abstract

Faults in electrical networks are among the key factors and sources of network disturbances. Control and automation strategies are among the key fault clearing techniques responsible for the safe operation of the system. Several researchers have revealed various constraints of control and automation strategies such as a slow dynamic response, the inability to switch the network on and off remotely, a high fault clearing time and loss minimization. For a system with wind energy technologies, if the power flow of a wind turbine is perturbed by a fault, the intermediate circuit voltage between the machine side converter and line side converter will rise to unacceptably high values due to the accumulation of energy in the DC link capacitor. To overcome the aforementioned issues, this paper used MATLAB simulations and experiments to analyze and validate the results. The results revealed that fault ride through capability with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) viewer software, Active Servo software and wind sim packages are more adaptable to the variations of voltage sag, voltage swell and wind speed and avoid loss of synchronism and improve power quality. Furthermore, for protection purposes, a DC chopper and a crowbar should be incorporated into the management of excess energy during faults and a ferrite device included for the reduction of the electromagnetic field.

Summary

Introduction

The worldwide energy consumption and demands are increasing very quickly because of the rapid growth of the population, industrialization and modernization [1]. In response to this growth in demand, different technologies are being applied and implemented in different countries for the purpose of electricity diversification and to increase the rate of electrification. The rotor and stator are capable of transferring active power through the shaft and electrical system. The stator winding is usually immediately connected to the utility grid, while the rotor winding is connected to the utility grid via a static transfer switch or power electronic converters. Fed machines are customarily applied in applications requiring variable shaft speed of the machine in a restricted range of the synchronous speed [3]
