Frequency Response Capability of Full Converter Wind Turbine Generators in Comparison to Conventional Generation
J.F. Conroy,R. W. G. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the frequency response capability of the full converter variable speed wind turbine generator (FCWTG) with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is investigated and a control scheme is developed that improves the frequency control performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low-voltage ride-through of a full converter wind turbine with permanent magnet generator
J.F. Conroy,R. W. G. Watson +1 more
Abstract: The low-voltage ride-through capability of a 2 MW full converter wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator is investigated herein. A detailed description of the system, its controller options and its behaviour when subjected to a severe voltage dip, is presented. A control scheme for the turbine that allows it to withstand severe voltage dips is designed and simulated. This control scheme emphasises the regulation of the dc-link voltage and minimisation of the drive train torque surplus. Also, the level of modelling detail required for stability analysis is analysed and discussed.

Aggregate modelling of wind farms containing full-converter wind turbine generators with permanent magnet synchronous machines: transient stability studies
J.F. Conroy,R. W. G. Watson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the aggregate modelling options for a wind farm with 5 MW full-converter WTGs (FCWTGs) using permanent magnet synchronous machines are presented, where a braking resistor in the DC circuit of the converter system is employed as a means of satisfying the latest grid code requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of fault ride-through strategies for power grids with 100% power electronic-interfaced distributed renewable energy resources
TL;DR: This paper critically reviews the existing FRT standards (grid‐code requirements) and FRT strategies implemented/ proposed for major DRERs, such as wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and microgrids, and suggests an augmented approach to achieve a sustainable renewable energy future.

Torsional Damping Control of Gearless Full-Converter Large Wind Turbine Generators with Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines
J.F. Conroy,Rick Watson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the torsional damping requirements for megawatt scale wind turbines having synchronous generators with full-wave ac/dc/ac inversion technology were examined.
