For a power grid that has a high wind penetration level, when wind speeds are continuously fluctuating, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) operation of a variable-speed wind turbine (VSWT) causes the significant output power fluctuation of a VSWT, thereby significantly fluctuating the system frequency. In this paper, an improved power-smoothing scheme of a VSWT is presented that significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation caused by varying wind speeds. The proposed scheme employs an additional control loop based on the frequency deviation that operates in combination with the MPPT control loop. To improve the power-smoothing capability of a VSWT in the over-frequency section (OFS), the control gain of the additional loop, which is set to be inversely proportional to the rotor speed, is proposed. In contrast, the control gain in the under-frequency section is set to be proportional to the rotor speed to improve the power-smoothing capability while avoiding over-deceleration of the rotor speed of a VSWT. The proposed scheme significantly improves the performance of the power-smoothing capability in the OFS, thereby smoothing the frequency fluctuation. The results clearly demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly mitigates the frequency fluctuation by employing the different control gain for the OFS under various wind penetration scenarios.

본 논문에서는 이중여자 유도발전기의 회전자에 back to back 컨버터가 채용된 가변속 풍력터빈 시스템의 모델링과 해석을 나타내었다. 제어시스템의 특성을 파악하기 위해서 시뮬레이션에서는 Psim 프로그램을 사용하여 660[kW] 의 출력정격을 갖는 시스템을 모델로 하였다. 모델링에서는 블레이드 제어 시스템 모델과 회전자와 계통선에 연결된 컨버터 시스템을 모델링 하였다. 풍속의 변화에 따라 원하는 출력을 얻을 수 있도록 피치각을 제어하여 정격풍속 이하에서도 최대출력이 발생하도록 하였고, 정격풍속 이상에서는 회전자 속도를 일정하게 하여 정격출력을 유지할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 무효전력을 제어하여 출력의 역률을 제어하였다. 제안한 해석방법의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 풍속변화에 따른 모델 시스템의 시뮬레이션 결과 값들과 제주행원 풍력발전 단지에서 운용되고 있는 V47 660[kW] 시스템의 실측 결과들과 서로 비교 검증하여 제안한 해석 방법의 타당성을 입증하였다.

In this paper, a Pl controlled feedback closed-loop voltage regulation scheme of the three-phase squirrel cage rotor self-excited induction generator (SEIG) driven by a variable-speed prime mover (VSPM) such as a wind turbine is designed on the basis of the static VAR compensator (SVC) and discussed in experiment fer the promising stand-alone power independent conditioner. The simulation and experimental results of the three-phase SEIG with the simple SVC controller for its stabilized voltage regulation prove the practical effectiveness of the additional SVC control loop scheme including the PI controller with fast response characteristics and steady-sate performance improvement.

At the altitudes above 3km, the wind is three to four time faster and less variable than at the current MW sized wind turbine hub height of around 100m. In addition, power generation from wind turbines installed on the ground is intermittent because local wind conditions are affected by local topography and artificial structures. The wind energy researchers and engineers are now looking for revolutionary ideas to utilize high altitude wind resources in-creasing the capabilities of wind turbine installations. This article presents and discusses several concepts for wind energy exploitation from wind at high altitudes. The concepts presented in this paper make use of lifting bodies, called wings or kites, connected to a tether that stetches into the higher regions of the atmosphere.

풍력발전기의 안정적인 전력생산은 정격풍속 이상에서 피치제어와 스톨제어와 같은 일정속도제어로 이루어지고 있다. 최근, 효율적인 전력생산을 위하여 정격풍속 이하의 변동풍속 조건에서 최대 출력을 얻기 위한 가변 속도제어가 적용되고 있는 추세이다. 기존의 피치제어기에서는 지글러-니콜스 계단응답법에 의한 제어기 최적화가 이루어지고 있으나, 가변 속도제어의 요구로 보다 정확한 최적화가 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 지글러-니콜스 계단응답법을 개선하기 위하여 라틴 하이퍼큐브 샘플링을 통한 신경망모델을 구축하고, 구축된 PID 제어 계수 신경망모델에 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하여 피치제어기를 최적화하였다. 유전자 알고리즘으로 구한 최적해가 지글러-니콜스 계단응답법의 초기해 보다 평균제곱근 오차가 13.4% 향상되었고, 응답특성을 나타내는 상승속도와 정착시간은 각각 15.8% 및 15.3%으로 개선되었다.

In the present study, the wind characteristics were analyzed according to the time averages to evaluate the performance of small wind turbines required for the development of energy independent village. Measuring data of wind speed were recorded between January 2016 and April 2016 every second. Experimental data is averaged out using 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 minute time steps. Throughout the experimental data analysis, 5 minutes averaged data is used to analyze the performance of the wind turbine, because it produces a minimum turbulence intensity in wind speed. The measuring power of the wind turbine is less than the designed value due to the unsteady nature wind of sudden changes in magnitude of wind speed and wind angle. Detailed wind conditions are also analysed using two variable Weibull probability density functions.

This study proposes a development for the l-kW class small wind turbine system, which is applicable to relatively low wind speed region like Korea and has the variable pitch control mechanism. In the aerodynamic design of the wind turbine blade, parametric studies were carried out to determine an optimum aerodynamic configuration which is not only more efficient at low wind speed but whose diameter is not much larger than similar class other blades. A light composite structure, which can endure effectively various loads, was newly designed. In order to evaluate the structural design of the composite blade, the structural analysis was performed by the finite element method. Moreover both structural safety and aerodynamic performance were verified through the prototype test.

The paper presents a simulation model and analysis of a grid-connected variable speed wind energy conversion scheme (VSWECS) using the PSCAD/EMTDC software. The modeled system uses a variable speed drive, a fixed pitch angle, a synchronous generator as a wind generator and an AC-DC-AC conversion scheme, which facilitates the wind generation to efficiently operate under varying wind speed while connected to the distribution network. The power output of the WECS is controlled by the AC-DC-AC conversion scheme, the objective of which is to capture the maximum active power under varying wind conditions and to keep the voltage magnitude of the terminal bus at a specific level. Aerodynamic models are applied for a wind turbine model. An simulation analysis of the scheme in terms of its responding to wind variations is also presented.

This study was performed to develop accelerated life test method of the wind-turbine gearbox using accumulated damage theory that used to model the fatigue of parts that receive variable load. The accumulated damage theory was introduced, and the estimation of life and calculation of accelerated life test time was illustrated. As the actual application example, accelerated life test method of the gearbox was described. Life distribution of the wind-turbine gearbox was supposed to follow Weibull distribution and life test time was calculated under the conditions of average life (MTBF) 140,600 hours and 99% reliability for one test sample According to the accumulated damage theory, because test time can shorten in case increase test load, test time could be reduced by 1.2 years when we put the load 1.2 times of rated load than 0.93 times of rated load that is equivalent load calculated by load spectrum of the wind turbine. This time, acceleration coefficient was 21.3. This accelerated test method was used to develop accelerated test method of gear reducer, gear and bearing as well as the industrial gearbox and it is considered to be applied comprehensively to mechanical parts the fatigue of which is happened by load or pressure etc.
