    Abstract:
    As a flexible grid-connection method, idle-load grid-connection is widely used in AC excitation variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) wind power generation systems with Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). In this paper, the idle-load grid-connection control strategy of the VSCF doubly-fed wind turbine is designed. Under the condition of open circuit on the stator side, the rotor exciting current is adjusted to realize VSCF at the stator side while decoupling the output active power and reactive power. Finally, a semi-physical real-time simulation platform of doubly-fed wind power generation system based on dSPACE is established. As a result, there was no inrush current at the time of grid-connection, which verified the correctness of the control strategy, at the same time, accuracy and real-time of the control system were proved.

    A systematic methodology for smooth connection of wind-turbine-driven doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) to the grid is presented. Synchronization of the voltage induced in the DFIG open stator to that of the grid, which needs to be accomplished prior to connection, is thoroughly examined. A particular grid-voltage-oriented rotor control scheme is considered for this purpose. Generic tuning equations for the rotor current integral–proportional (I-P) controllers involved in this scheme are also derived. Transition between the control configurations devoted to synchronization and normal operation—active power generation and reactive power interchange with the grid—at the instant of connection is studied in detail. Mainly due to the reference frame selected for synchronization, the greater part of this transition takes place naturally. However, given that the rotor current dynamics vary significantly depending on whether the DFIG stator is connected to the grid or not, the parameters of the I-P controllers involved in both schemes will accordingly be different. Consequently, a "bumpless" strategy is provided that preserves the smoothness of the connection. A simple method for initial rotor positioning, required when performing vector control based on an incremental encoder, is also suggested. The resulting overall methodology is validated on a 7-kW DFIG-based laboratory-scale test bench.

    Taking the realization of SVPWM based respectively on DSP and dSPACE as an example, the technology of hardware in the loop is introduced. The experiment results show good control effect of simulation platform of dSPACE. As a result, the characteristics and advantages of dSPACE system are compared with other traditional tools, and dSPACE may become another choice for us to develop systems and controllers.

    This thesis presents two types of alternating current (ac) generators that are becoming popular for use in small-scale distributed generation and in autonomous (or standalone) power systems. For the induction generator (IG), two modes of operation are identified, namely operation on the power grid and operation in the isolated mode. Single-phase operation is emphasized due to its applicability in remote rural regions where electrification is both costly and difficult to carry out. In the case of gridconnected operation, a number of practical phase-balancing schemes for a three-phase IG are proposed and analyzed. The method of symmetrical components is found to be a versatile tool for analyzing all the circuit configurations to be studied, including the Smith connection. Microcontroller-based multi-mode operation of an IG with the Smith connection is also investigated. When operated in the stand-alone mode, the IG is more commonly known as the selfexcited induction generator (SEIG). In this thesis, a unified approach that combines the method of symmetrical components and the pattern search method of Hooke and Jeeves is used to analyze a three-phase SEIG which supplies asymmetrical or single-phase loads. Its applicability is tested on various SEIG schemes, including the Steinmetz connection, modified Steinmetz connection (MSC), the simplified Steinmetz connection (SSC), the self-regulated self-excited induction generator (SRSEIG), and SEIG with the Smith connection (SMSEIG). For certain studies, the above approach is used in association with an iterative procedure in order to obtain the solution. A coupled circuit and field approach based on a two-dimensional finite element method (2-D FEM) is proposed for analyzing a grid-connected IG with the Steinmetz connection. The technique of coupling the single-phase circuit equations to the field domain equations is set forth and a rotor circuit model that accounts for the nonuniform current distribution in the rotor winding is also presented. A voltage and frequency control scheme that employs an SEIG with slip-ring rotor, namely the SESRIG, is also proposed and investigated. The feasibility of using an external rotor resistance as a control parameter is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. The study on the permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is focused on autonomous power system applications. A PMSG with inset rotor, which possesses an inverse saliency characteristic, is found to give satisfactory performance when supplying isolated loads. Zero voltage regulation and other extremum conditions are deduced based on the two-axis model. A saturated two-axis model that gives a more accurate prediction of the load characteristic is developed. For a more rigorous analysis, a coupled circuit and field, time-stepping 2-D FEM is also proposed.

    This paper analyzes the energizing procedure of the modular multilevel converter (MMC) HVDC connected offshore wind farm (OWF). By means of electromagnetic transient (EMT) simulations, inrush currents to OWF, HVDC and wind turbine transformers, charging currents to AC and DC cables are analyzed. Furthermore, optimal energizing methods for reducing the inrush and charging currents are also proposed. Simulation results verify the proposed methods.
