Project Synopsis Presentation
On
PWM-inverter scheme for grid connected
WEGS for power quality measure
DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Scope of the project:

The project demonstrate the power quality problem due to
installation of wind turbine with the grid

The influence of the wind turbine in the grid system
concerning the power quality measurements are-the active
power, reactive power, variation of voltage, flicker, harmonics,
and electrical behavior of switching operation and these are
measured according to national / international guidelines.

Today the PWM inverter control technology has been
developed and it can technically manage to control the power
level associates with the commercial wind turbines
Scope of the project:

The pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter scheme for
the grid connected wind energy generation system for power
quality improvement is simulated using
MATLAB/SIMULINK in power system block set.

Due to improvement in technologies, the wind turbine is
expected to support the grid and therefore the wind turbine
has to control the reactive power over a wide range, and
also to deliver the reactive power, in case of voltage drop
and can remain connected during short-term voltage drop.
Challenges:

The power quality issues can be viewed with respect to the wind
generation, transmission and distribution network can cause the
variation in voltage to which the wind turbine is connected, such
as voltage sag, swells, etc. However the wind generator introduces
disturbances into the distribution network.




POWER QUALITY ISSUES:

Voltage Variation :
a) Voltage Sag /Voltage Dips
b) Voltage Swells
c) Short Interruptions
d) Long duration voltage variation
Flicker
Harmonics
Wind turbine Location in power system
Self Excitation of wind turbine generating system
CONCLUSION:


The Project will simulate the scheme in MATLAB/SIMULINK
for maintaining the power quality in such a way that it can
cancel out the reactive and harmonic parts of the load current
and maintain the source voltage and current in-phase at the
point of common coupling in the grid system.
