  • wind turbine generator battery energy storage utility interface converter topology with medium frequency transformer link
    IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Harish S Krishnamoorthy, Dibyendu Rana, Pawan Garg, P N Enjeti, I J Pitel
    Abstract:

    A medium-voltage (MV) wind turbine generator (WTG)-battery energy storage (BESS) grid interface converter topology with medium-frequency (MF) transformer isolation is introduced in this paper. The system forms a three-port network in which several series stacked ac-ac converters transform the low-frequency (50/60 Hz) utility MV into MF (0.4 to 2 kHz) ac voltage by modulating it with MF square wave. This voltage is then fed to the MF transformer primary windings. The secondary and tertiary windings interface with the WTG side and the BESS side, respectively, after power conversion. The power generated by WTG is transferred to the MF transformer secondary windings through a three-Phase Pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a three-Phase PWM inverter, whereas the power transfer between the BESS and the tertiary winding occurs through a three-Phase PWM inverter. It is shown that the utility grid sinusoidal currents, the battery current, and the WTG output currents can be controlled to be of good quality using PI and DQ control strategies. Thus, the proposed MF transformer-based three-port topology results in smaller converter weight/volume. Moreover, the control can handle voltage sags/swells and provide low voltage ride-through capability. Simulation waveforms along with experimental results are shown as proof of concept.

  • Optimisation du dimensionnement d’une chaîne de conversion électrique directe incluant un système de lissage de production par supercondensateurs : application au houlogénérateur SEAREV
    HAL CCSD, 2011
    Co-Authors: Aubry Judicaël
    Abstract:

    The work presented in this thesis sets forth the study of the sizing of a direct-drive electrical conversion chain for a direct wave energy converter (SEAREV). This electrical chain is made up of a permanent magnet synchronous generator attached to a pendular wheel and a power-electronic converter made up of two three-Phase Pulse width modulation bridge, one controlling the generator, the other allowing injecting electrical energy into the grid. In addition, an energy storage system (bank of supercapacitors) is intended to smooth the power output. The sizing of all these components needs an operating cycle optimization approach, in a system context with strong multi-physics coupling, more particularly between hydrodynamical and electromechanical parts. At first, the generator-converter set, whose role is to damp the pendular movement of an internal wheel, is optimized with a view to minimize the cost of energy (kWh production cost). This optimization, based on torque-speed operating profiles, is carried out considering a strong coupling with the wave energy converter thanks to the consideration as design variables, some relatives to the generator-converter sizing but also some relatives to the damping law of the pendular wheel. In addition, the consideration of a flux-weakening strategy, interesting to ensure a constant power operation (levelling), allows, as soon as the sizing step, to deal with the generator-converter interaction. In a second step, the rated energy capacity of the energy storage system is being optimized with a view of the minimization of its economical life-cycle cost. To do this, we define quality criteria of the power output, including one related to the flicker, and we compare three energy managment rules while taking into account the power cycling aging of the supercapacitors due to the voltage and their temperature. In a third step, from yearly sea-states data, we provide sizings of the direct-drive electrical conversion chain that are the best trades-offs in terms of total electrical produced energy and economical investment cost.Le travail présenté dans cette thèse porte sur l'étude du dimensionnement d'une chaine de conversion électrique en entrainement direct d'un système direct de récupération de l'énergie des vagues (searev). Cette chaine de conversion est composée d'une génératrice synchrone à aimants permanents solidaire d'un volant pendulaire, d'un convertisseur électronique composé de deux ponts triphasés à modulation de largeur d'impulsion, l'un contrôlant la génératrice, l'autre permettant d'injecter l'énergie électrique au réseau. En complément, un système de stockage de l'énergie (batterie de supercondensateurs) est destiné au lissage de la puissance produite. Le dimensionnement de tous ces éléments constitutifs nécessite une approche d'optimisation sur cycle, dans un contexte de fort couplage multi-physique notamment entre les parties hydrodynamique et électromécanique. Dans un premier temps, l'ensemble génératrice-convertisseur, dont le rôle est d'amortir le mouvement d'un volant pendulaire interne, est optimisé en vue de minimiser le coût de production de l'énergie (coût du kWh sur la durée d'usage). Cette optimisation sur cycle est réalisée en couplage fort avec le système houlogénérateur grâce à la prise en compte conjointe de variables d'optimisation relatives à l'ensemble convertisseur-machine mais aussi à la loi d'amortissement du volant pendulaire. L'intégration d'une stratégie de défluxage, intéressante pour assurer un fonctionnement en écrêtage de la puissance, permet, dès l'étape de dimensionnement, de traiter l'interaction convertisseur-machine. Dans un second temps, la capacité énergétique du système de stockage de l'énergie fait l'objet d'une optimisation en vue de la minimisation de son coût économique sur cycle de vie. Pour ce faire, nous définissons des critères de qualité de l'énergie injectée au réseau, dont un lié au flicker, et nous comparons des stratégies de gestion de l'état de charge tout en tenant compte du vieillissement en cyclage des supercondensateurs dû à la tension et à leur température. Dans un troisième temps, à partir de données d'états de mer sur une année entière, nous proposons des dimensionnements de chaines de conversion électrique qui présentent les meilleurs compromis en termes d'énergie totale récupérée et de coût d'investissement

  • wind turbine generator battery energy storage utility interface converter topology with medium frequency transformer link
    IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2014
    Co-Authors: Harish S Krishnamoorthy, Dibyendu Rana, Pawan Garg, P N Enjeti, I J Pitel
    Abstract:

    A medium-voltage (MV) wind turbine generator (WTG)-battery energy storage (BESS) grid interface converter topology with medium-frequency (MF) transformer isolation is introduced in this paper. The system forms a three-port network in which several series stacked ac-ac converters transform the low-frequency (50/60 Hz) utility MV into MF (0.4 to 2 kHz) ac voltage by modulating it with MF square wave. This voltage is then fed to the MF transformer primary windings. The secondary and tertiary windings interface with the WTG side and the BESS side, respectively, after power conversion. The power generated by WTG is transferred to the MF transformer secondary windings through a three-Phase Pulse width modulation (PWM) rectifier and a three-Phase PWM inverter, whereas the power transfer between the BESS and the tertiary winding occurs through a three-Phase PWM inverter. It is shown that the utility grid sinusoidal currents, the battery current, and the WTG output currents can be controlled to be of good quality using PI and DQ control strategies. Thus, the proposed MF transformer-based three-port topology results in smaller converter weight/volume. Moreover, the control can handle voltage sags/swells and provide low voltage ride-through capability. Simulation waveforms along with experimental results are shown as proof of concept.
