Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid control scheme for energy storage systems (ESS) and braking choppers for fault ride-through capability and a suppression of the output power fluctuation is proposed for permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine systems. During grid faults, the dc-link voltage is controlled by the ESS instead of the line-side converter (LSC), whereas the LSC is exploited as a STATCOM to inject reactive current into the grid for assisting in the grid voltage recovery. The validity of the proposed system is verified by experimental results for a reduced-scale wind turbine simulator as well as simulation results for a 2-MW PMSG wind turbine system.
