In this paper, a novel control algorithm to minimize the power loss of the induction generator for wind power generation system is presented. The proposed method is based on the flux level reduction, where the flux level is computed from the machine model for the optimum d-axis current of the generator. For the vector-controlled induction generator, the d-axis current controls the excitation level in order to minimize the generator loss while the q-axis current controls the generator torque, by which the speed of the induction generator is controlled according to the variation of the wind speed in order to produce the maximum output power. Wind turbine simulator has been implemented in laboratory to validate the theoretical development. The experimental results show that the loss minimization process is more effective at low wind speed and that the percent of power loss saving can approach to 25%. Experimental results are shown to verify the validity of the proposed scheme.

Combined generation system of Photovoltaic and wind generation have shortcoming that is different output power according to change of weather. So, the combined generation system is required backup system that such as a storage battery to supply energy, when not enough photovoltaic and wind power source for power supply equally and continually because the energy source is changeable and stable through change of weather as irradiation. temperature, wind speed. wind direction. seasons, etc.

For the purpose of more effective simulation of the utility interactive WPGS(Wind Power Generation System) the SWRW (Simulation method for WPGS using Real Weather condition) is used in this paper, in which those of three topics for the WPGS simulation. user-friendly method, applicability to grid-connection and the utilization of the real weather conditions, are satisfied. The simulation of the WPGS using the real weather condition including components modeling of wind turbine system is achieved by introducing the interface method of a non-linear external parameter and FORTRAN using PSCAD/EMTDC. The simulations of steady-state and transient-state are performed effectively by the introduced simulation method. The generator output and current supplied into utility can be obtained by the steady-state simulation, and THD can be achieved by analyzing the results as well. The transient - state of the WPGS can be analyzed by the simulation results of over cut-out wind speed.

The paper presents an electrical model of a grid-connected wind energy conversion system (WECS) with a variable speed drive, a fixed pitch angle, a synchronous generator as a wind generator and AC-DC-AC conversion scheme for simulating dynamic behaviors and performance responding to varying wind speed input. The electric output of the WECS is controlled by the AC-DC-AC conversion scheme, the objective of which is to capture the maximum active power under varying wind conditions and to keep the voltage of WECS terminal bus at a specific level. Aerodynamic models are used to incorporate the power characteristics to wind speed. The modeling and simulation of the WECS are realized on PSCAD/EMTDC environment.

This paper deals with electromagnetic transient modelling of wind power system embedded in distribution networks. Wind power system consists of induction generator link reactor, distribution line, and controlled load unit. The introduction of embedded wind power system presents a new set of conditions to networks both with respect to power quantify needed to be transported and power quality such as sag swell, very short interruption, and flicker. This paper investigates the transient behavior of voltage, frequency, and load flow in wind driven induction generation system embedded in distribution networks.

A real time simulation method for the stand-alone Wind Power Generation System (WPGS) based on the real-time digital simulator (RTDS) is proposed in this paper for the simulations under the real weather conditions. The wind turbine characteristic equation of a wind turbine is reconstructed in the RTDS, and then the real data of weather conditions are interfaced to the RTDS through the analogue input Ports of the RTDS. The outcomes of the simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation scheme in this paper. The results show that the cost effective verifying for the efficiency and stability of the WPGS.

Reactive power support is considered to be necessary for dealing with a voltage stability issue with wind turbine system employing squirrel-cage induction generator(SCIG). This paper analyses steady-state characteristics of the SCIG wind turbine system by simulating torque-slip characteristics of SCIG with respect to variations of interconnecting network strength and generator terminal voltage. It also presents dynamics analysis of SCIG wind turbine system on Simulink to investigate the impact of static var compensator(SVC) and static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) on transient stability enhancement. It analysed transient stability with varying fault duration times and compared the transient stability characteristics with varying rated capacities of SVC and STATCOM. It is shown that the STATCOM has a better performance and reactive power support compared to SVC.

This paper analyzes the steady-state output characteristics of variable-speed wind turbine systems using doubly-fed induction generators(DFIG) compared with fixed-speed induction generator(FSIG) wind turbine systems. It also presents simulations of a grid-connected wind turbine generation system for dynamics analysis on MATLAB/Simulink and compares the responses between DFIG and FSIG wind turbine systems with respect to wind speed variation, impedance changes and X/R ratio changes of interconnecting circuits. Simulation results show the variation of generator's active output, terminal voltage and fault currents at the interconnecting point. Case studies demonstrate that DFIG wind turbine systems illustrate better performance to 3-phase fault than FSIG's.
