An Integration of Optimal Superconducting Coil into a Photovoltaic Generator for Stabilization of Subsynchronous Resonance
(2019-03-01)
Ngamroo, Issarachai
Subsynchronous resonance (SSR) causes torsional oscillations in a turbine-generator of series capacitor compensated power system. To counteract the SSR, an installation of superconducting coil (SC) in the photovoltaic (PV) generator with a fault current limiting (FCL) function is proposed. The circuit and control scheme of the proposed device, which is referred to as the PV with SC-FCL, are described. When short circuits occur, the SC not only suppresses the short circuit current, but also damps the torsional oscillations. To gain the damping performance, the optimization of controller is performed. The simulation study signifies that the PV with SC-FCL is superior to the PV with SC without an FCL function in terms of stabilizing effect and required energy.

Power system transient instability due to short circuits may result in loss of synchronism. To improve stability, resistive type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) and superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) can be effectively used. This paper proposes a new optimization of multiple SFCL and SMES units for transient stabilization in a multimachine power system based on kinetic energy control. Two applications of the proposed optimization are studied in the West Japan six-area interconnected power system. First, the SFCL is applied to solve the inevitable problems of SMES used for transient stability enhancement, i.e., required large power and energy capacities, and fail-operational performance due to the large voltage drop at the SMES bus. When the fault occurs, the SFCL swiftly reduces the increase in the kinetic energy of all generators by limiting the fault current. Subsequently, the SMES handles the remaining unbalanced kinetic energy. The optimization problem of the resistive value of the SFCL is formulated, considering energy dissipation in combination with the power controller parameters of SMES with optimal coil size. A simulation study shows the superior effect of the combined SFCL and SMES over either device separately. With SFCL, the low voltage ride-through capability of SMES can be enhanced. The MW and MJ capacities of the SMES are also significantly reduced. Second, a new optimization of multiple SFCL units considering optimal locations, optimal number, optimal resistive values, and energy dissipation during quenching state is presented. The optimization problem is formulated by maximizing the decreasing rate of energy function during fault in combination with minimizing the energy dissipation of the SFCL during quenching state. A simulation study confirms the superior effect of optimal SFCL units over nonoptimal SFCL units. © 2002-2011 IEEE.

The microgrid with wind and photovoltaic (PV) power sources unavoidably encounters the power fluctuation problem. To solve this problem, the superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) can be used. Nevertheless, large power fluctuation from wind and PV sources, and severe system faults may cause the overcharge or deep-discharge state of SMES. These abnormal states highly degrade the dynamic performance of the SMES. To handle these situations, this paper concentrates on the new SMES power controller design considering state-of-charge (SOC), robustness, and optimal inductance of the superconducting coil for microgrid stabilization. The active and reactive power controllers of SMES are represented by the proportional-integral (PI) control. The SOC deviation control and the mixed H<inf>2</inf>/H<inf>∞</inf> control are proposed to optimize the SMES coil inductance and PI parameters. Simulation study is performed to signify the control effect of the proposed SMES.

Cooperative Control of SFCL and SMES for Enhancing Fault Ride Through Capability and Smoothing Power Fluctuation of DFIG Wind Farm

This paper deals with a cooperative control of a resistive type superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) and a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) for enhancing fault ride through (FRT) capability and smoothing power fluctuation of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farm. When the system faults occur, the SFCL is used to limit the fault current, alleviate the terminal voltage drop, and transient power fluctuation so that the DFIG can ride through the fault. Subsequently, the remaining power fluctuation is suppressed by the SMES. The resistive value of the SFCL as well as the superconducting coil inductance of the SMES are simultaneously optimized so that a sudden increase in the kinetic energy in the DFIG rotor during faults, an initial stored energy in the SMES coil, an energy loss of the SFCL, and an output power fluctuation of the DFIG are minimum. The superior control effect of the cooperative SFCL and SMES over the individual device is confirmed by simulation study.

In the isolated microgrid with wind and photovoltaic power, the intermittent power produced from such power sources is an inevitable problem. In addition, under the occurrence of short circuits, the transient power swing may deteriorate the system stability. To deal with these problems, this paper focuses on the new power controller design of superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) considering the state-of-charge (SOC) control for microgrid stabilization. The structure of active and reactive power controllers of SMES is a proportional-integral (PI) controller. The optimization of PI parameters based on the minimization of the SOC deviation and the power output deviation of wind and PV sources is carried out. Simulation study confirms that the SMES with SOC control not only guarantees the stabilizing performance under normal and faulted conditions, but also prevents the over-charge and deep-discharge operations.

Optimization of SMES-FCL for Augmenting FRT Performance and Smoothing Output Power of Grid-Connected DFIG Wind Turbine
(2016-10-01)
Ngamroo, Issarachai
Fault-ride-through (FRT) performance and output power variation are crucial issues of the grid-connected wind turbine with the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). To overcome these problems, the optimal parameters tuning of the superconducting magnetic energy storage and the fault-current limiter (SMES-FCL) with the common part of the superconducting coil (SC) is proposed. In addition to the alleviation of the DFIG output power, the SC behaves as the short-circuit current limiter to enhance the FRT capability. The tuning of the SC inductance and the controller parameters of converters is optimally conducted, so that the DFIG terminal voltage deviation and the power fluctuation during faults are at their minimum. By simulation study, the utilized power and energy of the SC for the grid stabilization are curtailed, whereas the dynamic performance of the SMES-FCL is higher than a single SMES unit.

Improving Low-Voltage Ride-Through Performance and Alleviating Power Fluctuation of DFIG Wind Turbine in DC Microgrid by Optimal SMES with Fault Current Limiting Function
(2014-10-01)

The vital problems of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine are power fluctuation and low-voltage ride-through performance. To tackle both problems, the new circuit configuration and optimization technique of the superconducting magnetic energy storage with fault current limiting function (SMES-FCL) in a DC microgrid are presented. The SMES-FCL circuit mainly consists of two DC choppers with common superconducting coil (SC). During normal operation, the SMES-FCL acts as the SMES unit to suppress the power fluctuation of DFIG. When severe faults occur in the system, the SC is automatically connected to the system and used as the fault current limiter. Consequently, the fault current and the terminal voltage drop of DFIG can be alleviated. The energy function method is used to formulate the optimization problem of SC inductance, initial stored energy, and proportional-integral control parameters of choppers. Simulation study confirms the superior control effect of the SMES-FCL over the conventional SMES.
