Dynamics and stability of wind and diesel turbine generators with superconducting magnetic energy storage unit on an isolated power system

Abstract

Dynamic system analysis is carried out on an isolated electric power system consisting of a diesel generator and a wind-turbine generator. The 150 kW wind turbine is operated in parallel with a diesel generator to serve an average load of 350 kW. A comprehensive digital computer model of the interconnected power system including the diesel and wind-power dynamics with a superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) unit is developed. Time-domain solutions are used to study the performance of the power system and control logic. Based on a linear model of the system, it is shown that changes in control-system settings could be made to improve damping and optimization of gain parameters and stability studies are done using the Lyapunov technique and eigenvalue analysis. The effect of introducing the SMES unit for improvement of stability and system dynamic response is studied.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
