Preface The renewable energy penetration rate to the power grid is increasing rapidly nowa-days Wind, solar, biogas/biomass, tidal, geothermal, etc are considered as the renewable sources of energy and among those the wind is playing the major role in world’s energy market along with conventional sources of energy The wind energy sector has already reached a matured stage due the contributions from many engineering and science disciplines in the last few decades, mainly from mechanical, electrical, electronic, computer, and aerospace Each discipline has its own beauty and the combined efforts from scientists from different disciplines are the secret of the success of wind industry In this book, the present future development schemes of wind turbine generator systems are depicted based on the contribution from many renowned scientists and engineers from different disciplines A wide verity of research results are merged together to make this book useful for students and researchers The chapters of the book are organized into three parts In part I, wind energy conversion systems using different types of wind generator including necessary control schemes, are presented Efficiency analysis of commercially available wind energy conversion systems, large scale wind generator, using superconducting material and high efficient power converter technology are the key features of this section Part II is focused on several important issues for wind industry and transmission system operators Grid interfacing issues, grid code, lightning strike and protection, use of energy storage options are highlighted in this section And in the part III, the focus is given only to offshore wind power technology Offshore wind speed observation from the space, HVDC based transmission scheme to interconnect offshore wind farm into onshore grid, hybrid offshore wind farms and marine current farms are the key issues discussed in this section A general overview and essence of the chapters can be obtained from Chap.1 of the book Abu Dhabi, 31 March 2011 S M Muyeen vii Acknowledgments In my capacity, as the Editor of this book, first of all I would like to express

membership functions the present study, the FLC is considered to control the output voltage of the FB DC– DC converter to maintain the DC voltage of the offshore HVDC station at the desired level The FLC is described in detail in the following section In order to design the proposed FLCs, the error signal, e(k), and the change of the error signal, De(k), are considered as the controller inputs The duty cycle (D) is chosen as the controller output, which is compared with sawtooth carrier wave signals to generate the switching pulses for IGBT devices For convenience, the inputs and outputs of the FLC are scaled with coefficients Ke, KDe, and Kd, as shown in Fig 21.8 In Fig 21.8, Z-1 represents one sampling time delay The triangular membership functions with overlap used for the input and output fuzzy sets are shown in Fig 21.9, in which the linguistic variables are represented as NB (Negative Big), NS (Negative Small), Z (Zero), PS (Positive Small), and PB (Positive Big) The fuzzy rule table is shown in the Appendix In the present study, for the inference mechanism, Mamdani’s max–min (or sum–product) [35] method is used The center of gravity method [35] is used for defuzzification to obtain Dn The actual duty cycle signal, D, can be determined by multiplying Dn by the scaling factor Kd 21.3.3.3 Overvoltage Protection Scheme When a network disturbance occurs at the onshore grid, real power cannot be transmitted from the offshore wind farm to the onshore grid through the HVDC 512 Fig 21.10 Configuration of protective device used at offshore HVDC station S M Muyeen et al + Vdc_FB Vdc_max Vdc_FB >Vdc_max=>1 Vdc_FB 0 Controller > Chopper Fig 21.11 Control block diagram of the onshore VSC station cables As a result, the DC voltage, which must be regulated, increases rapidly One way to this is to decrease the power generation from individual WTGS of the offshore wind farm by updating the power command to all MPPT control units, which requires strong coordination between the onshore and offshore stations In the present study, as a simple protection scheme, the braking chopper, as shown in Fig 21.10, is installed at the offshore HVDC station, which can work independently without any remote signal transmission between MPPT units and the onshore grid The chopper is activated when a DC overvoltage is detected at the local end and dissipates the excess active power into the resistance during the voltage dip at the onshore grid 21.3.4 Onshore HVDC Station In the present study, the cascade control scheme with independent control of active and reactive currents, as shown in Fig 21.11, is applied to the control of onshore VSC station The dq quantities and three-phase electrical quantities are related to each other by reference frame transformation The angle of the transformation is detected from the three phase voltages (Va,Vb,Vc) at the high-voltage side of the 21 Transmission of Bulk Power 513 Fig 21.12 Wind speed data Used in

DC-link capacitor is controlled to be constant by two PI controllers On the other hand, the q-axis current can control the reactive power of the gridside inverter, and hence the onshore grid voltage can be maintained to be constant The rated DC-link voltage is 150 kV 21.4 Simulation Analysis In the present study, both the dynamic and transient characteristics of the proposed system shown in Fig 21.1 are analyzed A detailed switching model is considered instead of the time average model for the sake of analysis precision The time step is chosen to be 0.00002 s The simulation time for the dynamic and transient characteristics analysis are chosen as 600 s and s, respectively Simulations were carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC [31] 21.4.1 Dynamic Characteristics Analysis In order to obtain a realistic response, real wind speed data measured at Hokkaido Island, Japan, as shown in Fig 21.12, is used in the simulation In the offshore wind farm, the maximum power generation from each VSWT-PMSG at a particular wind speed is ensured by the controller, as explained in Sect 21.3.1 The responses of the real power references of the generator-side converters of the PMSGs, their rotor speeds, and the power delivered from each generator to the DC-bus are shown in Figs 21.13, 21.14, and 21.15 The pitch controllers attached to the wind turbines are activated when the rotor speeds of the generators exceed the rated speeds, as shown in Fig 21.16 The zoom voltage at the primary side of the FB DC–DC converter 514 VSWT-PMSG:1 VSWT-PMSG:2 1.2 Reference Powers [pu] Fig 21.13 Real power

The DC voltage at the onshore HVDC station is maintained constant by the VSC, as shown in Fig 21.19 The onshore grid voltage shown in Fig 21.20 is also maintained constant by the onshore HVDC station Under the proposed control strategy, the real offshore wind farm power is successfully transmitted to the onshore grid through the HVDC cable, as shown in Fig 21.21 Transmission of Bulk Power Fig

disturbance, which occurs at fault point F in Fig 21.1 The fault occurs at 0.1 s The circuit breakers (CB) on the faulted lines are opened at 0.25 s, and are reclosed at 1.05 s It is assumed that the wind speed is constant and equivalent to the rated speed for the variable-speed WTGSs This is because the wind speed may be considered not to change dramatically during the short time interval of the simulation Transmission of Bulk Power Fig 21.23 Real and reactive powers at the onshore HVDC station (3LG) 517 Real and Reactive Powers at Onshore Station [pu] 21 1.2 Real Power Reactive Power 1.0 0.8

21.22 [36] The real and reactive power responses at the onshore grid are shown together in Fig 21.23 The pitch controller controls the mechanical power of the individual wind turbine to stabilize the PMSGs, as shown in Fig 21.24 Due to the use of a protection device at the offshore HVDC station, the DC voltage cannot exceed a predefined limit, as shown in Fig 21.25 The longer the fault duration, the greater the importance of the requirement for a protection device The simulation results clearly show that the proposed system can overcome a severe 3LG fault under the developed control strategy 518 S M Muyeen et al 21.5 Conclusions This paper introduced an HVDC interconnected power transmission scheme for a DC-based offshore wind farm, in which a DC–DC converter using a transformer plays an important role in the offshore HVDC station The wind generators of the offshore wind farm are connected to a DC-bus through fully controlled AC–DC converters, which ensures that maximum power is delivered to the DC-bus Detailed modeling and control strategies of the FLC-based phase-shifted fullbridge DC–DC converter as well as other components of the proposed system were presented The dynamic performance of the overall system was evaluated by simulation analysis using real wind speed data The overvoltage protection scheme used in the coordinated control system can maintain the DC voltage of the HVDC system, even in the transient or fault condition A full-bridge DC–DC converter can works well as an offshore HVDC station and can transmit the real power to the onshore grid through the XLPE HVDC cable Acknowledgments The present study was supported by a Grant-in-Aid for JSPS Fellows from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) The authors would also like to thank
