Abstract— This paper proposes basic concepts of a fixed speed wind turbine (FSWT), as an introduction to a modern wind turbine concept; also, energy extraction from the wind turbine, in order to highlight the utility of the DPC in the field of the quality of the electric power. The VOC will be compared with structure known as DPC [1] applied to IG wind turbine connected to the network using back-to-back PWM converters. The theoretical principle of this method is discussed. From the simulation results, it is shown that DPC-2L displays several features, such as a simple algorithm and good dynamic response.

are very susceptible to the weather effect and other external actions. To provide consumers with a good quality of electric power, even in the operating conditions of the most disturbed, several solutions are proposed [4,11], one of the innovative solutions proposed direct power control "DPC"[5]. This technique is based on the concept of direct torque control "DTC" applied to electrical machines. The objective is to directly control the active and reactive power in a PWM rectifier; the same principle has been applied previously to control the torque and flux in electrical machinery alternatives. In our case we have applied DPC to wind generation systems.

The turbine side converter is controlled by the structure known Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC) in tow case [2]. Both VOC and DPC are simulated using MATLAB software to illustrate the performance of each technic. Keywords: back-to-back PWM converters, Direct power control, Voltage oriented control, Wind power, power quality, squirrel cage induction generators (SCIG).

I. INTRODUCTION uring the last years the low and medium voltage networks have been connected with new active systems such as wind turbines, photovoltaic systems, storage devices, units of improvement the quality of power and other. Almost all of these new systems are connected to the grid by VSC (VSC Voltage Source Converter) with a filter. The rectifier at two levels based on a PWM control was typically used as robust and highly effective solution. Power electronics is becoming increasingly used by various systems related to power generation, and industrial equipment. Among the generating systems are cited, the wind power is growing rapidly around the world. This expansion is due to research efforts in this domain. So, wind turbines are widely developed as an alternative energy source in providing a cost-effective option in the energy market. Therefore, the wind sector shows great interest for direct connection of these units for medium voltage networks for future developments [3]. Furthermore, liberalization of the electricity market stimulates new ideas as in the case of power quality [3]. The distribution and transport are usually based on the airlines and

WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS

A. Wind Turbine Induction Generator

The wind turbine and the induction generator (WTIG) are shown in Figure1. The stator winding is connected by back-toback PWM converters (AC/DC/AC) to the grid and the rotor is driven by the wind turbine. The power captured by the wind turbine is converted into electrical power by the induction generator and is transmitted to the grid by the stator winding. The back-to-back PWM converters are controlled in order to limit the generator output power to its nominal value for variable wind speeds. In order to generate power the induction generator speed must be slightly above the synchronous speed. But the speed variation is typically so small that the WTIG is considered to be a fixed-speed wind generator. The reactive power absorbed by the induction generator is provided by the grid or by some devices like capacitor banks, SVC, STATCOM or synchronous condenser [6]. The fixed speed is related to the fact that an asynchronous machine coupled to a fixed frequency electrical network


rotates at a quasi-fixed mechanical speed inndependent of the wind speed.

The wind speed is a three-dimensional vector. However, the direction of the vector wind speed in the vertical axis is not important in terms of the wing wind because it is not seen by its active surface. For simplification, the velocity vector is moving in the horizontal plane The verticaal axis blades are devoid of any device orientation of the blades b (the active surface is always facing the wind), then the behavioural b pattern of the wind is simplified considerably. The wind speed can therefore be modelled as a scalar function that changes over time [3].

BACK-TO-BACK POWER ELECTRONIC CONVERTER

Vector Control of the Machine Side Converter The induction generator is fed by a current-controlled PWM converter which is built using a forced-commutated device (MOSFET). The speed control loop uses a proportionalintegral controller to produce the quadrature-axis current reference iq* which controls the motor torque. The motor flux is controlled by the direct-axis current reference id*. Block DQ-ABC is used to convert id* and iq* into current references ia*, ib*, and ic* for the PWM modulator. Current and Voltage Measurement blocks provide signals for visualization purpose. Revolution speed, current, and torque signals are available at the output of the 'Asynchronous Machine' block [2, 18]. A.

The grid side converter is in charge of controlling part of the power flow of the IG. This power flow that goes through the stator flows also through the DC link and finally is transmitted by the grid side converter to the grid [13]. The simplified block diagram of the grid side system, together with a schematic of its control block diagram, is given in Figure 10.

Figure 12. Grid current and THD (VOC)

The output voltage of the converter, are generated in order to control the voltage of the DC link and the reactive power exchanged with the grid. This is done, in general, according to a closed loop control law. Some typical controls are vector control or direct power control. However, in this section we are studies the grid voltage oriented vector control (GVOVC) [10]. On the other hand, control of DC link voltage is necessary since, the DC link is mainly formed by a capacitor. Thus, the active power flow through the stator must cross the DC link and then it must be transmitted to the grid. Therefore, by only controlling the Vdc variable to a constant value, this active power flow through the converters is ensured, together with a guarantee that both grid and machine side converters have available the required DC voltage to work properly.

•

Direct power control

Direct power control is based on the same control principles as the direct torque control technic. The unique difference is the directly controlled variables. In the case of DTC, the electromagnetic torque and the rotor flux are directly controlled, while in DPC, the stator active and reactive powers are directly controlled.

Since, for this control the magnitudes that must be measured are the grid side current and voltage, together with the DC link voltage [6].

In a similar way, one variable that can also be controlled with this schema is the reactive power exchange with the grid. In general, it can take different values depending on which current are to be minimized.

A negative electromagnetic torque is applied to the shaft of the induction machine in Figure 9 that means The Asynchronous Machine operates in generator mode, we notes that the torque is around his nominal value 240 (N.m), however the machine acts as a motor mode (t=7 s) if the speed of wind is too low (t=7 s; wind velocity is 2 m/s), thus the mode of operation is dictated by the sign of the mechanical torque.

At (t=7 s), a big variation in the rotor speed is appeared. We can see that the dynamic response of the DC regulator to this sudden variation in the rotor speed (52 rad/s to 41 rad/s) is not satisfactory. The DC voltage is back to 900 V within 100 cycles (f=50Hz).

CONCLUSION

This paper has described two concepts to improve the total power factor and efficiency of the PWM converter. The first key point of the method is direct instantaneous active and reactive power control of the converter, and the second one is an indirect technique voltages oriented control. The active and reactive power can be regulated directly by relay control of the power, which is implemented by using several comparators and a switching table. In this configuration, the errors between the power commands and the feedback signals are compared by the hysteresis elements, and the specific switching state of the converter is appropriately selected by the switching table, so that the errors can be restricted within the hysteresis bands A good steady state performance could be obtained with VOC and also current control could be easier implemented compared with the other technic. On all accounts, it can be concluded that all the two control schemes can offer satisfactory performance while each has itself particular merits and drawbacks. The selection of the optimal scheme should therefore depend on the specific application. The renewable energy based on the wind Conversion Systems need a robust algorithms and a good dynamic response witch can always supported the sudden variation of the wind speed. The DPC become more suitable if we combined it with other techniques to give DPC-SVM [12, 16].
