Performance of Coded Wireless Power Controllers for Wind Turbines Connected to a Smart Grid

Abstract

Nowadays, with the advance of smart grid technologies, the participation of renewable energy in the power systems is changing for attend new requirements and increase efficiency of the systems. With a view of smart grid context, this work proposes the review of a modern wireless control system proposed based on for squirrel cage induction generators connected to the power grid. The wireless communication system applied transmits the reference power signals to the SCIG controller with the necessary reliability to ensure the power quality provided by the wind turbine employing the OFDM multi-carrier transmission technique associated with an LDPC coding scheme. The satisfactory results of this research endorse the operability and advantages of application of wireless control system for windy plants when some requirements and techniques, based on digital modulation and coding techniques, are employees.
