Improvement of High-Voltage-Ride-Through Capability of DFIG Based Wind Turbines with D-STATCOM

Abstract:

Along with the increasing of wind power penetration in the grid, much attention has been paid to the high voltage ride through (HVRT) capability of double fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind parks. To regulate the reactive power dynamically, the distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) has been considered to be a valid method. In this paper, the D-STATCOM device is applied to enhance the HVRT capability of DFIG during a symmetrical voltage swell at the grid side. The function, The configuration, operating principle and feed-forward decoupling control strategy is presented, finally the model of power system containing DFIG based wind farms and D-STATCOM is established in the environment of PSCAD/EMTDC, HVRT during symmetrical grid voltage swell is simulated. The validity of the proposed control strategy is verified by the simulation results.
