Abstract

In the wind power area, Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) has many advantages due to its ability to provide power to voltage and constant frequency during rotor speed changes, which provides better wind capture as compared to fixed speed wind turbines (WTs). The high sensitivity of the DFIG towards electrical faults brings up many challenges in terms of compliance with requirements imposed by the operators of electrical networks. Indeed, in case of a fault in the network, wind power stations are switched off automatically to avoid damage in wind turbines, but now the network connection requirements impose stricter regulations on wind farms in particular in terms of Low Voltage Ride through (LVRT), and network support capabilities. In order to comply with these codes, it is crucial for wind turbines to redesign advanced control, for which wind turbines must, when detecting an abnormal voltage, stay connected to provide reactive power ensuring a safe and reliable operation of the network during and after the fault. The objective of this work is to offer solutions that enable wind turbines remain connected generators, after such a significant voltage drop. We managed to make an improvement of classical control, whose effectiveness has been verified for low voltage dips. For voltage descents, we proposed protection devices as the Stator Damping Resistance (SDR) and the CROWBAR. Finally, we developed a strategy of combining the solutions, and depending on the depth of the sag, the choice of the optimal solution is performed.

Abstract

Partial shading, from obstacles such as buildings or trees, is a major challenge for photovoltaic systems, causing unpredictable fluctuations in solar energy production and underlining the need for advanced energy management strategies. In this paper, we propose an innovative approach that combines hybrid metaheuristic optimization with maximum power point tracking control (MPPT), using particle swarm optimization (PSO) in conjunction with the incremental conductance (IC) algorithm. We compare the proposed method with the conventional Perturb and Observation (PO) algorithm. The choice of PO as a comparison method is due to its simplicity, its familiarity with the scientific literature, its low cost of implementation. The main objective of swarm optimization combined with the IC algorithm lies in its ability to overcome the challenges posed by partial shading, ensuring accurate and efficient tracking of the point of maximum power, thanks to dynamic adaptation to variations in solar irradiation, thus enhancing the performance and resilience of the photovoltaic system. This approach  is of crucial importance, offering considerable potential for solving the complex challenges associated with partial shading. Our results show that this hybrid MPPT algorithm offers superior tracking efficiency 98% , faster convergence 500ms , better stability and increased robustness compared to traditional MPPT approaches. The system is composed of a PV and a boost converter that connects the input to the resistive load. The algorithms were implemented with MATLAB/Simulink as the simulation tool. These results not only reinforce the viability of sustainable energy solutions, but also open the way for the development of more sustainable energy solutions.The perspectives of this work are oriented towards a practical and extended integration of the proposed hybrid approach in real photovoltaic systems, with a particular emphasis on experimental validation.
