This article develops a simplified model for the single-PMSG infinite-bus system with the AIC within the electromechanical timescale, and reveals the transient synchronization stability mechanism from three aspects: the machine-network interface, transient dominant variable, and interaction between the synchronization loop and the power imbalance loop. Finally, this article analyzes the swing characteristics of the PMSG system, and uncovers the relationship between the energy transmission and synchronization.

This penetration poses technical challenges for the operation of both transmission and distribution networks. The determination of the active/reactive power capability of ADNs will provide useful information at the transmission and distribution systems interface. For instance, the transmission system operator (TSO) can benefit from reactive power and reserve services which are readily available by the DERs embedded within the downstream ADNs, which are managed by the distribution system operator (DSO). This article investigates the important factors affecting the active/reactive power flexibility area of ADNs such as the joint active and reactive power dispatch of DERs, dependency of the ADN's load to voltage, parallel distribution networks, and upstream network parameters. A two-step optimization model is developed which can capture the P/Q flexibility area, by considering the above factors and grid technical constraints such as its detailed power flow model. The numerical results from the IEEE 69-bus standard distribution feeder underscore the critical importance of considering various factors to characterize the ADN's P/Q flexibility area. Ignoring these factors can significantly impact the shape and size of Active Distribution Networks (ADN) P/Q flexibility maps. Specifically, the Constant Power load model exhibits the smallest flexibility area; connecting to a weak upstream network diminishes P/Q flexibility, and reactive power redispatch improves active power flexibility margins. Furthermore, the collaborative support of reactive power from a neighboring distribution feeder, connected in parallel with the studied ADN, expands the achievable P/Q flexibility. These observations highlight the significance of accurately characterizing transmission and distribution network parameters. Such precision is fundamental for ensuring a smooth energy transition and successful integration of hybrid renewable energy technologies into ADNs.</p>","PeriodicalId":55000,"journal":{"name":"IET Renewable Power Generation","volume":"18 14","pages":"2455-2467"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/rpg2.13088","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142540892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of highly reliable and low-maintenance wind turbines is an urgent demand in order to achieve the low-carbon goals, and the arrival of fault diagnosis provides assurance for its satisfactory operation and maintenance. Numerous statistical studies have pointed out that generator failures are a main cause of wind turbine system downtime. The generator, as one of the core components, converts rotating mechanical energy into electrical energy. However, the generators can hardly operate reliably towards the end of the turbine life owing to the variable-speed conditions and harsh electromagnetic environments. This article first provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the electrical and mechanical failures of various parts (stator, rotor, air gap and bearings) of the generator. Then the fault characteristics and diagnostic processes of generators are investigated, and the principles and processes of fault diagnosis are discussed. Finally, the application of four categories of model-based, signal-based, knowledge-based and hybrid approaches to wind turbine generator fault diagnosis is summarized. The comprehensive review shows that the hybrid approach is now the leading and most accurate tool for real-time fault diagnosis for wind turbine generators.

The modular structure discussed consists of a stacked polyphase bridge converter connected to the modules of a segmented generator. Three voltage control modes are analysed: non-voltage balancing, voltage balancing allowing overcurrent, and voltage balancing with power derating. Assembly imperfections and operation differences can cause parametric deviations across modules leading to generation unbalance. When operating with voltage balancing with power derating, none has ac overcurrent or dc overvoltage. However, when the turbine is already operating at nominal power, a reduction in total power is required for this to occur. On the other hand, non-voltage balancing or voltage balancing allowing overcurrent could bring more generated power to the system as the optimal output power allows dc overvoltage or ac overcurrent in some of the modules, respectively. Therefore, there is a trade-off between efficiency and oversizing the system's components. A sensitivity analysis is performed to identify the expected dc-bus voltage deviation.

However, previous research has demonstrated that GFL-VSC without additional frequency controls not only tracks the terminal frequency during the system dynamic process bus also has an influence on it, and derives the relationship between GFL-VSC and terminal frequency through a simplified model. This paper further derives a more generic relationship considering the influences of q-axis current and grid voltage amplitude variation, which were ignored in previous research. The relationship has proven to be effective and valid. Several influencing factors are analysed to describe the ability to modify terminal frequency. Then the effect of GFL-VSCs on the frequency distribution of power grid is studied.

Consequently, the efficacy of traditional relay protection has diminished, elevating the risk of misoperation or misjudgment and compromising the safety of distribution networks. In response to these challenges, a fault section location method for active distribution network based on characteristic wave coupling is proposed to expand the fault difference. This method explores the principles of characteristic wave coupling, discusses characteristic wave parameter selection theory, examines the start-up control strategy for characteristic wave coupling, and establishes a protection action criterion by comparing the energy difference of characteristic waves based on the fault identification principle. Subsequently, by utilizing multiple inverter interfaced distributed generators to actively couple characteristic waves into the distribution network during faults, achieves rapid identification and location of fault sections.

CFRT results in continuous voltage fluctuations which is characterized by “initially decreasing and then increasing” and can significantly disrupt the normal operation of wind power systems. To mitigate CFRT related problems, one approach is the utilization of energy storage (ES) based dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs). Nevertheless, the prohibitive costs and substantial ES requirements hamper practical implementation. In this article, a control scheme incorporating adaptive mode switching and coordinated control is proposed. First, the adaptive mode switching control leverages the advantages of two DVR compensation methods to reduce the injected voltage amplitude. The mode switching is activated by the DC link voltage and utilizes the PQR transformation to unlock the phase-locked loop (PLL). Subsequently, an adaptive coordination coefficient is introduced, which considers the margin of ES regulation power and rotor inertia, to maintain power balance during CFRT. This proposed control strategy not only enables wind turbines to seamlessly ride through continuous faults without disconnecting from the grid but also leads to a reduction in the ES compensation requirement.
