Abstract
The increasing wind power penetration poses significant technical problems to the development of electric power systems. In this article, an integrated control strategy is proposed based on the characteristics of the directly driven permanent magnet synchronous generator wind turbine. The directly driven permanent magnet synchronous generator wind turbine is incorporated with superconducting magnetic energy storage, which can smooth the wind power fluctuations, enhance the low-voltage ride-through capability of the wind generation system, and achieve an uninterruptible power supply to local loads under isolated grid operation. According to the MATLAB/SIMULINK-based (The MathWorks, Natick, Massachusetts, USA) digital computer simulation model, the proposed control strategy is confirmed to be effective in power control of grid operation.
