Some controllers have been introduced in various studies to mitigate the negative effects of renewable sources. These have been modified to fit a formed solution in various ways. This paper deals with the voltage regulation of wind farms in voltage dip situations where communication failures occur. The aim is to discuss the modification of the online wind farm management system. To discuss modifications of the online wind farm management system, we focus on voltage regulation of wind farms when communication failures occur. The structure has been designed to respond to a voltage drop when the outer reference is absent due to communication errors. Since the loss reduction effect has been maintained in the designed case studies, it can be derived that the proposed method can respond to voltage drops, along with a used objective function.

Since the characteristics of Renewable Energy Sources like wind turbine generators are very different from those of existing thermal power generators and their response to the sudden change of the frequency are not as good as that from thermal power generators. Especially when the penetration level of the wind power generation is substantially high, the output from the WTG would be possibly limited to keep the stability of power systems. For this, this paper implements the process for calculating the dynamic penetration limit of WTG and analyze the potential application of BESS for increasing the dynamic penetration limit of WTG.

Controller for doubly-fed induction-type wind generation system should be designed with mechanical power on blade. The controller in this paper consists of upper level controller and lower level controller. The upper level controller determines operating modes according to mechanical input power and calculates proper reference values. There are 4 operating modes - minimum speed control, variable torque control, torque limit control and idle mode. The lower level controller performs current regulated PWM control of rotor-side converter and grid-side inverter. A wind turbine simulator is implemented using doubly-fed induction-type generator and DSP based back-to-back converter to verify the performance of designed controller experimentally.

This paper presents a new framework for design and economic evaluation of wind energy-based electricity supply system. We propose a network optimization (mixed-integer linear programming) model to design the underlying energy supply system. In this model we include practical constraints such as land limitations of onshore wind farms and different costs of offshore wind farms to minimize the total annual cost. Based upon the model, we also analyze the sensitivity of the total annual cost on the change of key parameters such as available land for offshore wind farms, required area of a wind turbine and the unit price of wind turbines. We illustrate the applicability of the suggested model by applying to the problem of design of a wind turbines-based electricity supply problem in Jeju. As a result of this study, we identified the major cost-drivers and the regional cost distribution of the proposed system. We also comparatively analyzed the economic performance of on/off shore wind farms in wind energy-based electricity supply system of Jeju.

In this study, the vibration characteristics and the resonance phenomena of a wind-solar hybrid light pole structure are compared with respect to the wind turbine type through the dynamic response measurement. Two different turbines are considered including 2-bladed and 3-bladed vertical axis wind turbine rotors. The resonance phenomenon that can occur in hybrid light pole structure is analyzed by comparing the dynamic characteristics of the structure and the excitation force under operational conditions. Displacement responses are also estimated using the acceleration measurement data by use of recently proposed method, and it is observed that the amplitude of dynamic displacement responses are in the range of 4-6 cm under the resonance in the case of 2-bladed turbine and those are limited under 2 mm in the case of 3-bladed turbine because there is no resonance.

There are variety of reasons for renewable energy curtailment, including lack of transmission availability and grid system stability. In the Jeju island region, there are many cases in which the supply of electricity is already increased compared to the demand for electricity due to the increase of solar and wind power generation facilities, and accordingly, the number of curtailments for wind power generation is increasing. This research aims to find the direction of efficient reception of renewable energy and stable operation of the power system using HVDC(High Voltage Direct Current) and BESS(Battery Energy Storage System) facilities that are in charge of power supply in Jeju island. And the paper suggests a practical operation plan for optimal system operation, and the direction of system operation of the land power system due to the expansion of solar and wind power generation facilities in the future.

전기의 수요는 인구 증가와 함께 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 하지만 에너지 자원의 부족 및 환경문제 등으로 인해 그 수요를 충족시키는 것에 대한 한계에 다다르고 있다. 많은 연구자들이 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 신재생 에너지의 사용을 제한하였고, 그 중 풍력 에너지는 전 세계의 많은 지역에서 이용이 가능하고 저렴한 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 유도 전동기의 직접토크제어를 이용하여 풍력 발전기를 모델링 하였고 직접토크제어를 사용함으로써 토크 응답 특성이 매우 빠르고 모터의 파라미터 변화에 대한 민감도가 감소하며 제어기의 구성이 단순하다는 장점을 가지고 있다.

풍력터빈 블레이드 풍동시험의 경우 사용가능한 시험설비의 크기제한으로 인해 축소모델 사용이 불가피하며, 이로 인해 풍동시험에서는 실물 블레이드에 비해 10% 미만의 낮은 Re수에서 시험이 수행된다. 축소모델 블레이드 풍동시험 결과를 활용하여 실물 블레이드의 성능(토크)를 추정하기 위한 축소효과 보정기법을 2008년 제시하였으며, NREL Phase VI 모델 시험결과에 적용하였다. 당시 제시된 보정기법은 단일익형을 전체 블레이드에 사용한 사례이며 축소효과 보정을 위해 Re수에 따른 익형의 양력계수 변화만을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 당시 제안된 축소효과 보정기법을 익형의 양력계수 및 항력계수를 포함한 형태로 수정하였으며, 블레이드에 다수의 익형이 사용되었을 경우에 대해 확장하였다. NREL Phase VI 12% 시험모델의 경우 익형의 양력계수 기울기에 의한 보정량은 약 15% 정도이며, 항력계수 변화에 의한 보정량은 약 5% 정도로 나타났다. 블레이드에 다수의 익형이 사용되었을 경우 설계 또는 전산해석을 통해 구한 반경별 토크 함수를 적용하여 블레이드 축소효과를 보정할 수 있다.

In a grid connected variable speed wind turbine, the PCC voltage and the wind power fluctuate as the wind velocity changed. And this voltage variation is changed due to location of PCC. This paper calculate the value of PCC voltage variation which is proportional to the product of the line impedance from the ideal generator to the PCC and the wind turbine output current. And to reduce this PCC voltage variation, this paper calculate the required reactive power analytically using the vector diagram method. Output reactive current is changed, if the reactive current is limited by inverter capacity or grid code have the margin of voltage variation. If the grid connected inverter is controlled by proposed algorithm, the PCC voltage variation is minimized though the wind turbine output change at random. To verify calculated voltage variation and required reactive power, this paper utilized Matlab and PSCAD/EMTDC simulation and real small wind turbine and power system in Sapsido, island in the Yellow Sea.

The wind energy is one of the most prospective resources in renewable energy. However, the WTGS shouldn't be installed indiscriminately because the power system can be negatively influenced by a variable and uncertain nature of the wind energy. It is the reason why it has to be limited to install the WTGS thoughtlessly mentioned above that support the importance of the maximum penetration limit of wind power. It may required that power system operators suggests a new way of power system operation as percentage of the WTGS increase in the existing power system. The wind power is fixed in a limited area, so using rate of the wind power will be increased by installing additional WTGS. In this paper, we have studied on economic evaluation of the wind capacity increased by restricting the output of the WTGS as the way to increase the wind capacity.
