Amélioration de la qualité d'énergie d'un système de conversion d'énergie éolienne à base de machine asynchrone à double alimentation et connecté au réseau électrique

Abstract

Wind power generation has grown strongly in the last decade. This results in the development of Wind Energy Conversion System WECS at the levels of modeling and electrical control. Modern WECS operate at varying wind speeds and are equipped with synchronous and asynchronous generators. Among these generators, the Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) offers several advantages and capabilities of active and reactive power in four quadrants. WECS based DFIG also causes less conversion costs and minimum energy losses compared with a WECS based on a synchronous generator powered entirely by full scale of power converters. The connection of such a system to the electrical distribution network involves bidirectional operation of networks. This is clearly established in sub and super synchronous operating modes of DFIG. The grid provides the active power to the rotor of DFIG in sub synchronous operating mode and receives the active power of the rotor in super synchronous operating mode of DFIG. Energy quality is thus of major importance during the integration of wind power to the grid. Poor wave quality can affect network stability and could even cause major problems and consequences. This is even more critical where non-linear loads such as the switching power supplies and variable speed drives, are connected to the grid. The idea of this research work is how to mitigate the problems associated with the wave quality while ensuring better implementation of DFIG so that the whole of WECS remains insensitive to external disturbances and parametric variations. The Grid Side Converter (GSC) must be able to compensate harmonics, current unbalance and reactive power injected by a nonlinear three-phase unbalanced load connected to the grid. In addition to these innovative features to improve the conditions of operation of the grid, it provides also the power flow during different modes of operation of the DFIG. It is considered a simple, efficient and cost competitive solution by saving the use of other power equipment. At the same time, the energy efficiency of wind power conversion chain should be improved by extracting the MPPT. Searching allows us to select vector control and control in synchronous reference to achieve these objectives. WECS based DFIG is simulated in MATLAB SIMULINK in the presence of a non-linear balanced and unbalanced three-phase load.
