Performance comparison of SCIG and DFIG based wind farm in ETAP D. S. Bankar, Shripad Ganapati Desai, Vishal Vaman Mehtre International Conference on Automatic Control and Dynamic Optimization Techniques Icacdot 2016, 2017 Rising environmental concern and depletion of the fossil fuels has given significant importance to renewable energy sources. Wind energy brings new opportunities for the Power System Engineers, they can be termed as confirm alternatives for growing energy demand. The performance comparison of the SCIG and DFIG will yield a promising option for the future Wind Turbine Generators. This research was carried out to analyse the superiority among both these machines. The simulation and analysis carried out were under the same condition and with the same control technique. The same wind farm was studied for their Power Output at various Wind Speeds and Fault analysis. The analysis also included Real and Reactive Power analysis during the presence of fault. The results obtained determined the capability of each machine and the future of Wind energy in India.
Analysis of a Doubly Fed induction generator based wind farm Vishal Vaman Mehtre, Shripad Ganapati Desai, D.S. Bankar Proceedings 2016 IEEE International Conference on Technological Innovations in ICT for Agriculture and Rural Development Tiar 2016, 2016 Increasing environmental pollution and economic crisis faced over conventional sources of energy has recently made us realize the importance of switching over to renewable sources of energy to meet the growing demand for generation of electricity. Wind as renewable source has an efficient potential in generation sector. DFIG (Doubly Fed Induction Generator) due to its various advantages over other types of wind generators has growing popularity in past as well as nearby future. Hence, performance analysis of DFIG is necessary for particular wind farm in terms of power quality. In this paper, DFIG based wind farm was considered for load flow analysis, short circuit analysis, harmonic analysis and optimal load flow analysis to evaluate performance characteristics of DFIG. The simulation results were analysed in ETAP software comparing most of the results with theoretical values. Satisfactory results were obtained for theoretical and practical values evaluating the efficiency and reliability of DFIG.
Harmonic analysis and mitigation in wind power plants Shripad Ganapati Desai, Vishal Vaman Mehtre, D.S. Bankar Conference on Advances in Signal Processing Casp 2016, 2016 Renewable energy sources have gained a lot of importance in the recent past due to its availability in abundance and pollution free nature. Wind Power Generation compared to the other renewable energy sources has developed at a rapid pace. Like most of the conventional Power plants, Wind Power plants must ensure the quality of power delivered to the grid. Harmonics are the most important Power Quality Issues related to the Wind Power plants which occur due to frequent switching of the Power Converters and variable Wind speed. This paper presents the Harmonic analysis in the SCIG and DFIG Wind Farms. A 42 MW Wind plant was considered for analysis and a suitable strategy was adopted to reduce the Harmonic content. The analysis and design were carried according to the Indian Grid Codes. The results obtained indicate the Power Quality of the SCIG and DFIG Wind Farm with respect to %THD (Total Harmonic Distortion).
