Proportional Derivative and Proportional Integral Derivative Controllers for Frequency Support of a Wind Turbine Generator in a Diesel Generation Mix
The levelized cost of electricity production is highly dependent on the cost of fuel oil on the world market. In order to reduce the dependency on the fuel oil, many countries are adopting an energy transition towards distributed generation. Distributed generation can be described as various means of generating electricity at or near where it…
Read More A Novel Approach for Evaluating Eddy Current Loss in Wind Turbine Generator Step-Up Transformers
South Africa is aiming to achieve a generation capacity of about 11.4GW through wind energy systems, which will contribute nearly 15.1% of the country’s energy mix by 2030. Wind energy is one of the principal renewable energy determinations by the South African government, owing to affluent heavy winds in vast and remote coastal areas. In…
Read More NPC five level inverter using SVPWM for Grid-Connected Hybrid Wind-Photovoltaic Generation System
This paper covers a new topology, a synchronous wind turbine generator, and a solar photovoltaic generator. The Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator is linked to the grid by back-to-back voltage source converters (BtB VSC), consisting of a two-stage rectifier and a five-stage Neutral Point Clamped inverter, operated by the Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation technique. A…
Read More DFIG Defects Diagnosis Method for Wind Energy Conversion Chain
This paper is an extension of research work originally presented in 2018 IEEE fifth International Congress on Information Science and Technology (CiSt). The research consists on developing method to diagnose electrical defects affecting wind turbine doubly-fed induction generator DFIG which constitutes a crucial part of wind energy conversion chain. First off all, we create a…
