The main purpose of this paper is to present a simulation model for assessing the impacts of a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT) on the distribution network and perform a simulation analysis of voltage profiles along the wind turbine installed feeder using the presented model. The modeled wind energy conversion system consists of a fixed pitch wind turbine, a synchronous generator, a rectifier and a voltage source inverter (VSI). Detailed study on the voltage impacts of a variable speed wind turbine is conducted in terms of steady state and dynamic behaviors. Various capacities and different modes of variable speed wind turbines are simulated and investigated. Case studies demonstrate how feeder voltages are influenced by capacity and control modes of wind turbines and changes in wind speed under different network conditions. Modeling and simulation analysis is based on PSCAD/EMTDC a software package.

최근 화석연료의 사용으로 인한 연료고갈 및 환경문제가 대두되고 있으며 이를 해결하기 위한 대체에너지 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 풍력에너지는 대체에너지 중 지속적으로 무제한 사용할 수 있고 공해물질 배출이 없는 청정에너지로 각광받고 있다. 풍력발전은 바람에너지가 로터 블레이드를 통해서 운동에너지로 변환되고 다시 발전기를 통해서 전기에너지를 발생시키는 에너지 변환기술이며, 풍력발전기의 중요부품인 블레이드의 설계 및 제작은 매우 중요한 요소이지만, 우리나라는 이에 대한 기초자료 및 핵심기술 등이 부족하여 아직도 중요부품들을 외국에서 수입하여 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 저 풍속에서도 발전 가능한 다층형 구조의 블레이드를 소형풍력발전기에 적용하여 풍속 및 블레이드 개수에 따른 발전기의 출력특성을 분석하였다. 연구결과, 최대풍속 8m/s일 때 블레이드 3개를 적용하면 블레이드를 1개 및 2개를 적용했을 때보다 발전기 출력전압은 33% 및 18%로 증가되었고, 발전기 출력전류는 33% 및 15%로 증가되었으며 발전기 RPM은 23% 및 13%로 증가되었다. 본 연구에서다층형 구조의 블레이드를 소형풍력발전기에 적용한 결과 발전기의 출력특성이 향상되었고 저 풍속에서도 전기에너지의 수집이 가능함을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 농형유도발전기를 이용한 독립형 풍력발전시스템의 최대전력 추종제어기법을 제안한다. 농형 유도발전기는 벡터제어 방식으로 동작되는데 d-축 전류에 의해 여자가 제어되고 q-측 전류에 토크가 제어된다. 이 토크제어에 의해 발전기는 풍속의 변화에 따라 최대전력을 발생하도록 가변속 제어된다. 발전된 전력은 ac/dc PWM 컨버터에 의해 직류 출력단 배터리뱅크로 충전된다. 제안된 기법은 M-G세트로 구성된 터빈시뮬레이터를 이용하여 실험적으로 검증된다.

Fixed speed wind turbine generators system that uses induction generator as a wind generator has the stability problem similar to a synchronous generator. On the other hand, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) has the flexibility to control its real and reactive powers independently while being operated in variable speed mode. This paper focuses on a scheme where IG is stabilized by using DFIG during grid fault. In that case, DFIG will be heavily stressed and a remedy should be found out to protect the frequency converter as well as to allow the independent control of real and reactive powers without loosing the synchronism. For that purpose, a crowbar protection switch or DC-link protecting device can be considered. This paper presents a comparative study between two protective schemes, a crowbar circuit connected across the rotor of the DFIG and a protective device connected in the DC-link circuit of the frequency converter. Simulation analysis by using PSCAD/EMTDC shows that both schemes could effectively protect the DFIG, but the latter scheme is superior to the former, because of less circuitry involved.

In the development of electricity generating wind turbines for wind farm application, only two types have survived as the methods of power regulation; stall regulation and fun span pitch control. The sound measurement procedures of IEC 61400-11 are applied to field test and evaluation of noise emission from each of 1.5 MW and 660 kW wind turbine generators (WTG) utilizing the stall regulation and the pitch control for the power regulation, respectively. Apparent sound power level, wind speed dependence and third-octave band levels are evaluated for both of WTGs. It is found that while 1.5 MW WTG using the stall control is found to emit lower sound power than 660 kW one using the pitch control at low wind speed (below 8 m/s), sound power from the former becomes greater than that of the latter in the higher wind speed. Equivalent continuous sound pressure levels (ECSPL) of the stall control type of WTG vary more widely with wind speed than those of the pitch control type of WTG These characteristics are believed to be strongly dependent on the basic difference of the airflow around the blade between the stall regulation and the pitch control types of WTG. These characteristics according to the methods of power regulation lead to the very different noise emission characteristics of WTG depending on the seasons because the average wind speed in summer is lower than the critical velocity over which the airflow on the suction side of blade in the stall types of WT are separated. These results propose that, in view of environmental noise regulation, the developer of wind farm should give enough considerations to the choice of power regulation of their WTG based on the weather conditions of potential wind farm locations.

In this paper, a wind turbine with power splitting transmission, which is realized through a novel three-shaft planetary, is presented. The input shaft of the transmission is driven by the rotor of the wind turbine, the output shaft is connected to the grid via the main generator (asynchronous generator), and the third shaft is driven by a control motor with variable speed. The dynamic models of the sub systems of this wind turbine, e.g. the rotor aerodynamics, the drive train dynamics and the power generation unit dynamics, were given and linearized at an operating point. These sub models were integrated in a multidisciplinary dynamic model, which is suitable for control syntheses to optimize the utilization of wind energy and to reduce the excessive dynamic loads. The important dynamic behaviours were investigated and a wind turbine with a soft main shaft was recommend.

Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) used in variable speed constant frequency wind energy generation system can capture wind energy with the highest efficiency by using the stator flux oriented vector control method. This paper sets up a DFIG modeling of wind generation system in PSCAD/EMTDC to simulate the operational performance with wind speed variation. In order to achieve the characteristics of the maximum utilization of wind power, this paper uses the vector control technology to track largest wind power and the independent control of generator active and reactive power.

As the number of wind turbines installed increase, the power from wind energy starts to replace conventional generation units and its influence on power system can not be neglected. Because of the intermittent nature of wind resource, the output power of wind turbine fluctuates according to wind speed variation. In this point of view, it is necessary for wind turbines to be equipped with power regulation ability. The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is one of the main techniques used in variable speed wind turbines. This thesis focuses on the development of modified control scheme of DFIG to regulate output power. The proposed control scheme achieves active power output regulation so as to stabilize the power system.

A direct PM generator has the effect of reducing the mechanical noise and ease of maintenance by eliminating a number of power transmission components. In addition, wind turbines operating at low speed with the advantages of high output, high efficiency, and small size. The generator was designed as a small direct-drive PM generator that can be applied to a kite even at low wind speeds. The RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) of the reel was measured in two ways using a cadence/speedometer sensor and a tachometer while the actual kite. The RPM derived from the experiment was applied to the simulation on the designed generator. The no-load characteristic analysis for the magnetic fields produced for the permanent magnet generator by a permanent magnet and stator winding currents is achieved using a 2D coordinate system. A commercial electromagnetic analysis program, ANSYS Maxwell, was used to model the electromagnetic dynamics.
