Active management of Wind Turbine-diesel generator hybrid system considering economic criteria

Abstract

A simulation on developing the voltage control with active management system of Wind Turbines (WT)-diesel generator (DG) hybrid system considering economic criteria is exhibited in this paper. The hybrid system model is developed from mathematical equations of WTs as well as diesel generators and evaluated the system performances. Minimizing the overall cost and power losses the proposed active management method includes the On Load Tap Changers (OLTC) voltage regulator in addition to reactive power control of WTs and DG. The performance of this method is verified on a 30-bus grid associated 11-kV distribution network comprising WTs and DG, consistent with time-varying characteristics of the load and WTs power generation.
