Design of Wind Energy Conversion System Under Different Fault Conditions

Abstract

This work demonstrates an experimental setup of a wind emulator, which is tested over abnormal conditions like sudden change in wind speed, mis-commutation in the converter, sudden outage, dynamic change in load, etc. The control system is built with dSPACE DS1104 IC-based real-time board. Simulation and experimental results are obtained from a laboratory 1.2 kW prototype of WECS to show the results under steady-state and dynamic balanced/unbalanced conditions. It also shows the various and comparative experimental and simulation results for developed control system under different situations to demonstrate the robust enhancement in the steady-state and dynamic performance of proposed adaptive fuzzy logic control over traditional system.
