Effect of Load Models on AC/DC System Stability and Modulation Control Design

This paper investigates important aspects related to the effect of load models on the modulation control design and stability of a modulated ac/dc system. Static load is modeled as a nonlinear function of load bus voltage and dynamic load is modeled by an equivalent induction motor. DC power and reactive power modulations are considered for the modulation controllers. A method for eigenvalue sensitivity calculation is developed to predict the effect of load characteristics on system stability. Eigenvalue sensitivity and simulation results show that static and dynamic load characteristics may have a considerable effect on the system stability. Figure 1 shows an ac/dc power system model used for studying the effect of nonlinear load on system stability. Reactive power modulation gain is obtained via optimal control theory. Figure 2 shows speed response of synchronous generator for a 5% change in reference current (Iref) of the rectifier terminal. Reactive power modulation by static var compensator improves system stability with constant impedance load model. However, reactive power modulation makes the system unstable when the modulation gain is based on constant impedance load model and the actual load is represented by induction motor. Important conclusions resulting from the computations and simulations performed for an integrated ac/dc system are listed below. 1. The dynamic behavior of induction motor load has a significant effect on the system stability. Induction motor in most cases reduces the overall system damping.     

Strategies for optimizing the opening of the outlet air circuit’s nozzle to improve the efficiency of the PEMFC generator

The aim of this study is the optimal dimensioning of the air circuit’s outlet nozzle in relation with the load duration curve, for a given PEMFC generator, in order to maximize the PEMFC efficiency and to increase the net outlet power. The steady state PEMFC operation has been taken into account. The model of the PEMFC system used in the work is based on a moving least squares technique. A centrifugal compressor has been taken into account, and the operating line of the compressor has been evaluated for an optimal fixed opening of the outlet nozzle. A multi-level optimization procedure has been implemented to solve the optimization problem. The developed algorithm is useful to design an optimum air subsystem, reducing the number of the control variables and the consequences of the dynamic behavior of a controlled electric adjustable valve on the PEMFC performance. The results of the work can contribute to the improvement of the PEMFC generator reliability and of its cost/performance ratio.     

Stability analysis of pitch‐regulated,variable‐speed wind turbines in closed loop operation using a linear eigenvalue approach

A multi‐body aeroelastic design code based on the implementation of the combined aeroelastic beam element is extended to cover closed loop operation conditions of wind turbines. The equations of a controller for variable generator speed and pitch‐controlled operation in high wind speeds are combined with the aeroelastic equations of motion for the complete wind turbine, in order to provide a compound aeroservoelastic system of equations. The control equations comprise linear differential equations for the pitch and generator torque actuators, the control feedback elements (proportional–integral control) and the various filters acting on the feedback signals. In its non‐linear form, the dynamic equations are integrated in time to provide the reference state, while upon linearization of the system and transformation in the non‐rotating frame, the linear stability equations are derived. Stability results for a multi‐MW wind turbine show that the coupling of the controller dynamics with the aeroelastic dynamics of the machine is important and must be taken into account in view of defining the controller parameters.

Design and Experimental Verification of a Linear Permanent Magnet Generator for a Free-Piston Energy Converter

This paper discusses issues that are pertinent to the design of a linear permanent magnet generator for application in a free-piston energy converter. To achieve the required high power density, high efficiency, and low moving mass, a tubular machine equipped with a modular stator winding and a quasi-Halbach magnetized armature is employed. It is shown that the machine design can be optimized with respect to three key dimensional ratios while satisfying other performance requirements. It is also shown that, when the generator is interfaced to an electrical system via a power electronic converter, both the converter volt-amps rating and the converter loss should be taken into account when optimizing the machine design. The performance of such a tubular generator is demonstrated by measurements on a 10-pole/9-slot prototype machine.     

Power quality improvement of a stand-alone power system subjected to various disturbances

In wind-diesel stand-alone power systems, the disturbances like random nature of wind power, turbulent wind, sudden changes in load demand and the wind park disconnection effect continuously the system voltage and frequency. The satisfactory operation of such a system is not an easy task and the control design has to take in to account all these subtleties. For maintaining the power quality, generally, a short-term energy storage device is used. In this paper, the performance of a wind-diesel system associated with a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) system is studied. The effect of installing SMES at wind park bus/load bus, on the system performance is investigated. To control the exchange of real and reactive powers between the SMES unit and the wind-diesel system, a control strategy based on fuzzy logic is proposed. The dynamic models of the hybrid power system for most common scenarios are developed and the results presented.     

A coupled power-voltage equilibrium strategy based on droop control for fuel cell/battery/supercapacitor hybrid tramway

In order to improve the robustness of the energy management system (EMS) and avoid the influence of demand power on the design of EMS, a coupled power-voltage equilibrium strategy based on droop control (CPVE-DC) is proposed in this paper. Making use of the principal that the DC bus can directly reflect the changes of load power, the proposed strategy couples DC bus voltage with output powers through droop control to achieve self-equilibrium. The proposed EMS is applied into a hybrid tramway model configured with multiple proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) systems, batteries and super capacitors (SCs). FC systems and SC systems are responsible for satisfying most of the demand power, therefore the CPVE-DC strategy generates FCs and SCs reference power through power-voltage droop control on the primary control. Then batteries supplement the rest part of load power and generate DC bus voltage reference value of the next sampling time. With the gambling between output power and DC bus voltage, the hybrid system achieves self-equilibrium and steps into steady operation by selecting appropriate droop coefficients. Then the secondary control of the proposed strategy allocates power between every single unit. In addition, a penalty coefficient is introduced to balance SOC of SCs. The proposed strategy is tested under a real drive cycle LF-LRV on RT-LAB platform. The results demonstrate that the proposed strategy can achieve self-equilibrium and is effective to allocate demand power among these power sources,achieve active control for the range of DC bus voltage and SOC consensus of SCs as well. In addition, some faults are simulated to verify the robustness of the proposed strategy and it turns out that the CPVE-DC strategy possesses higher robustness. Finally, the CPVE-DC strategy is compared with equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) and the results shows that the proposed strategy is able to get higher average efficiency and lower equivalent fuel consumption.     

A novel nonlinear observer‐based LQ control system design for wind energy conversion systems with single measurement

The issue of tracking the optimal power for wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) via regulating the rotor speed of the generator is taken into account in this study. Additionally, a novel polynomial observer is proposed for estimating not only aerodynamic torque in WECSs but also d‐axis and electromagnetic torque. Therefore, in this new approach, only the rotor speed of the generator is required to be measured instead of measuring all state variables. With the new observer form, the aerodynamic torque does not need to satisfy any constraints, which are mandatory in the previous methods. It should be noted that this methodology has not been investigated for the WECSs in any previous papers. To design a complete control system, a linear optimal control method cooperated with the polynomial observer is employed to track the optimal trajectory of a generator. Moreover, in this paper, the permanent magnet synchronous generator is used. In addition, on the basis of the Lyapunov theory and sum‐of‐square (SOS) technique, the conditions for observer synthesis are derived in the main theorems. Finally, the simulation results are provided to prove the effectiveness and merit of the proposed method.     

Efficiency improvement of a PEMFC power source by optimization of the air management

The increase of fuel cell (FC) system efficiency requires an optimal management of all its sub-systems. This paper discusses and analyses the possibilities of the improvement of the performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) power source via the implementation of an optimal operating design of the air management sub-system. The steady-state PEMFC operation has been taken into account. This work takes into account a numerical and mixed technique for modeling of FC sub-systems, based on moving least squares approach. In has been analyzed the opportunity of using an adjustable backpressure valve. The work proposes a numerical optimization of air management, computing the optimal speed of the compressor and the optimal throttle opening, in correlation with an imposed operating point of PEMFC system. A Constrained Optimization By Linear Approximation (COBYLA) algorithm has been implemented to solve the optimization problem. The results are useful to design the control of PEMFC system and to develop an optimal configuration of it.     

A WTS power conversion stage with multilevel converters operating in the medium voltage range

A high power medium voltage converter for wind turbine system is presented in this paper. The proposal mitigates classic design tradeoffs around low voltage, high current link between the generator and the utility grid on the megawatt range. The power converter is based on Multilevel Converters technology which allows to extend the power-handling capability of the electronic switches, reaching the medium voltage operation without step-up transformers. The converter controllers are based on the Finite-States Model Predictive Control approach, leading to fast dynamic response and DC bus voltages equalization. The performance of the control scheme is evaluated with computer simulations.

Stabilizing torsional oscillations using a hunt reactor controller

Results of a study on the application of shunt reactors for the damping of torsional oscillations that occur in a power system containing series-capacitor compensation are presented. The IEEE Second Benchmark Model, system-1 is used to investigate the benefits of the utilization of modulated reactive power in suppressing unstable subsynchronous resonance (SSR) modal interactions. A set of shunt reactors is connected to the generator bus of the affected synchronous machine whose shaft is directly coupled to the turbine system of the benchmark model. In order to stabilize all the torsional modes, a unified approach based on modal control theory is proposed for the design of a shunt reactor controller, which is essentially a dynamic output compensator. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the damping enhanced by the proposed scheme, eigenvalue analysis for different loading conditions and sensitivity analysis for controller parameters are performed

Controller design for an induction generator driven by a variable-speed wind turbine

This paper presents the modeling, controller design and a steady-state analysis algorithm for a wind-driven induction generator system. An output feedback linear quadratic controller is designed for the static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and the variable blade pitch in a wind energy conversion system (WECS) in order to reach the voltage and mechanical power control under both grid-connection and islanding conditions. A two-reference-frame model is proposed to decouple the STATCOM real and reactive power control loops for the output feedback controller. To ensure zero steady-state voltage errors for the output feedback controller, the integrals of load bus voltage deviation and dc-capacitor voltage deviation are employed as the additional state variables. Pole-placement technique is used to determine a proper weighting matrix for the linear quadratic controller such that satisfactory damping characteristics can be achieved for the closed-loop system. Effects of various system disturbances on the dynamic performance have been simulated, and the results reveal that the proposed controller is effective in regulating the load voltage and stabilizing the generator rotating speed for the WECS either connected with or disconnected from the power grid. In addition, proper steady-state operating points for an isolated induction generator can be determined by the proposed steady-state analysis algorithm. Constant output frequency control using the derived steady-state characteristics of the isolated induction generator is then demonstrated in this paper.
