Comparative Analysis of Integrating WECS with PMSG and DFIG Models connected to Power Grid Pertaining to Different Faults

Abstract

In the present centaury wind propelled power generator has become the most challenging with the power system in terms of power quality and harmonic distortion control. These challenges are now overtaken by the advancement of power electronic technology with its rapid growth and improvement, leading to the growth of wind propelled power generator with variable speed. Even then the power quality has been an issue to be addressed among the researchers. In this paper, a comparative study of wind propelled power generator with PMSG and DFIG is presented. These two generator types are connected with the power system using the conventional back to back converters and the unconventional power electronic interface. To study the effect of proposed unconventional power electronic interface, tests are conducted with both generator types. Active power, reactive power and speed control are taken as the comparative factors for the tests with both type of generators by performing transient fault simulations under the condition of sudden short circuit disturbance. The comparison brings out the ways to reduce Total Harmonic Distortion at various fault locations and buses to improve the quality of power generated.
