The Simulation Research of Self-Excited Startup for Wind Generator Based on RTDS

Abstract:

Concerned that wind generators start up and establish the stable terminal voltage of the stator which is connected to the grid, this paper presents that wind generator can be operated as the independent generator at a certain voltage and frequency by means of capacitive excitation. The paper also deduces the calculation method for the proper capacitance value of self-exciting startup of wind generator. The paper builds a simulation model based on real time digital simulator (RTDS) and takes a case for simulating self-excited startup of wind generator. Simulation results demonstrate that the wind generator with self-excitation can successfully start up and be connected to the grid, it make a good agreement of actual situation. Furthermore, the results of RTDS simulation show that only proper capacitors value from optimized calculation can lead to a normal terminal voltage characteristic. The validity of proposal methods and designed simulation model is verified by experimental and computed results.
