Management And Control of a DC Micro-Grid Based Wind Power Generation System

Abstract

This paper presents the design of a dc grid-based wind power generation system in a poultry farm. The proposed system allows flexible operation of multiple parallel-connected wind gen-erators by eliminating the need for voltage and frequency synchro-nization. A model predictive control algorithm that offers better transient response with respect to the changes in the operating conditions is proposed for the control of the inverters. The design concept is verified through various test scenarios to demonstrate the operational capability of the proposed microgrid when it oper-ates connected to and islanded from the distribution grid, and the results obtained are discussed.
