Description
Summary:This article focusses on power quality issues related with the operation of a wind energy conversion system employing a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), integrated with a solar photovoltaic array, under unbalanced, and distorted grid conditions. The multiple-order DFIG electromagnetic torque ripples and grid active power ripples, resulting from the unbalanced and distorted grid, can be mitigated, however, at the cost of highly unbalanced and distorted currents. This article provides a possible solution towards a tradeoff by developing a flexible ripple minimization technique based on a cross-feedback extended second order generalized integrator for harmonics sequence separation (CextSOGI-HSS). The CextSOGI-HSS based current compensation enables a controlled minimization of ripple as per the customizable flexibility quotient. Furthermore, the current compensation technique employs an improved recursive least squares (IRLS) adaptive filtering algorithm for processing DFIG stator currents and local load currents. The IRLS algorithm improves grid currents harmonics spectra by filtering-out higher order harmonics from DFIG stator currents and nonlinear load currents, meanwhile, the effects of any load or stator currents unbalance on grid currents are also mitigated. Test results from a developed laboratory prototype confirm the efficacy of the presented flexible ripple minimization control technique.
