Study on high voltage ride through control strategy of PMSG-based wind turbine generation system with SCESU

Abstract

Regarding PMSG-based wind turbine generation system, this study proposes a super-capacitor energy storage unit (SCECU) connected parallel to the DC-link of the back-to-back converter to enhance its high voltage ride through performance. The analysis of the operation and control for the grid-side converter and SCECU are conducted. Based on real-time digital simulators (RTDS), a model of PMSG-based wind turbine with SCECU is developed, and the simulation results show that the SCECU absorbs the imbalanced energy and the grid-side converter absorbs inductive reactive power during the period of voltage swell. The simulation results based on RTDS verify the correctness and feasibility of the high voltage ride through control strategy.
