Description
Summary:To supply resident loads far from the grid, a stand-alone wind system with a small-scale wind turbine and battery storage can be used. The traditional configuration of the system has a permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Other alternative configurations use doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The systems with DFIG have variable speed operation with a limited speed range which reduces the captured power from the wind turbine. Also, there is a rotor-side converter (RSC) which carries the reactive power of DFIG, in addition to the slip power. In this paper, an improved system configuration with DFIG is controlled by an advanced control scheme. By this advanced scheme, the speed range is increased such that maximum power operation of wind turbine is obtained for complete range of wind speed, and volt-ampere (VA) requirements of RSC are reduced by the operation at nearly zero-slip power.
