Single‐phase wind‐BES microgrid with seamless transition capability

Abstract A new control strategy for a wind‐BES (battery energy storage) microgrid is presented, which controls the power transfer and the mode of operation seamlessly from an islanded mode (IM) to the grid connected mode (GCM) and vice versa. In GCM, the DC link voltage regulation, the load reactive...

Description
Summary:Abstract A new control strategy for a wind‐BES (battery energy storage) microgrid is presented, which controls the power transfer and the mode of operation seamlessly from an islanded mode (IM) to the grid connected mode (GCM) and vice versa. In GCM, the DC link voltage regulation, the load reactive power compensation and harmonics current mitigation are performed by the load side voltage source converter (LVSC) using a double sinusoidal signal integrator (DSSI) based control algorithm. The maximum power from the wind generation is extracted by operating the generator side voltage source converter (GSC). At the grid fault or grid disturbances, this microgrid operates in IM and LVSC is controlled in the voltage control mode. A synchronizing controller is utilized to control the operation of synchronization. The grid current and point of common coupling (PCC) voltage distortions are kept within the limit as per the IEEE‐519‐2014 and the IEEE‐1547 standards. The system operation is demonstrated through test results at several conditions such as, changing wind speeds, varying loads and seamless transition.
