Abstract:
This paper proposes a novel integration of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind farms within microgrids. The main and probably the best feature of this method is that the voltage and frequency of the microgrid are controlled by the wind generators through droop characteristics. Therefore, this control structure is quite suitable for cases where the wind generators supply significant part of the load. This paper will adjust the standard droop method in order to force the DFIG to share the load according to their available wind powers, not only their ratings. This paper focuses on microgrid application; however, the method is quite applicable for ac grid and HVdc link connections as well. The proposed control methods are validated using PSCAD/4.2.1 Professional/EMTDC simulations.
