  • Hilbert Transform-Based Bearing Failure Detection in DFIG-Based Wind Turbines
    International Review of Electrical Engineering, 2011
    Co-Authors: Yassine Amirat, Mohamed Benbouzid, Vincent Choqueuse, Sylvie Turri
    Abstract:

    Cost-effective, predictive and proactive maintenance of wind turbines assumes more importance with the increasing number of installed wind farms in more Remote Location (offshore). A well-known method for assessing impeding problems is to use current sensors installed within the wind turbine generator. This paper describes then an approach based on the generator stator current data collection and attempts to highlight the use of the Hilbert transform for failure detection in a doubly-fed induction generator-based. Indeed, this generator is commonly used in modern variable-speed wind turbines. The proposed failure detection technique has been validated experimentally regarding bearing failures. Indeed, a large fraction of wind turbine downtime is due to bearing failures, particularly in the generator and gearbox.

  • Active use of DFIG-based variable-speed wind-turbine for voltage regulation at a Remote Location
    IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2007
    Co-Authors: Hee-sang Ko, Gi Gab Yoon
    Abstract:

    Renewable energy sources are presently exempted from control functions. This, in turn, simplifies the requirements for the renewable energy source interconnection as well as the project developer, allowing connection to the system without having to take part in the overall stabilization effort. Thus, in order to maintain the power generation and consumption balance, necessary for stable functioning of the power system, the traditional power plants always exert necessary control actions. However, the present practice requires the independent power producers and/or generators who want to connect to the grid to meet the so-called connection requirements of the local electric utility (the grid company). Therefore, this paper proposes an innovative reactive power control scheme for voltage regulation at a Remote Location that manipulates dynamically the reactive power from the voltage source converter (VSC) with taking into account its operating state and limits.

  • Wind-powered electric water-pumping system installed in a Remote Location
    Applied Energy, 2000
    Co-Authors: Zaher Al Suleimani, N.r. Rao
    Abstract:

    In December 1996, the country's first wind-powered, electric water-pumping system was successfully installed at the Ministry of Water Resources (MWR) Heelat Ar Rakah Camp, a Remote Location some 900 kilometres south of Muscat, the capital city of Oman. A weather-monitoring station comprising temperature, wind speed/direction, humidity and barometric pressure equipment was also installed to investigate the relationship between weather conditions and power output. Both systems are still in operation and are providing valuable data for analysis. This paper investigates the pump's output at different wind speeds and monthly water output against average wind velocity and compares the results with the design output values provided by the system manufacturer. Problems encountered in meeting the irrigation requirements at the camp during periods of low wind are discussed and solutions proposed. The potential of utilizing surplus energy generated during periods of high wind is under investigation. The paper concludes by assessing and analysing the role of wind power amongst other renewable energy sources, in the abstraction and desalination of groundwater supplies.
