Universal Power Line Manager for wind turbine generator connected with strong grid

Abstract

Wind power plant meets so many power quality issues when it is connected with strong grid. This paper proposes a new power quality conditioner to regulate the supply frequency, to control the power flow, to minimize the current harmonics, and to regulate the voltage for fixed speed induction generator type wind generator. The name of the proposed new power line conditioner is called as Universal Power Line Manager. The control circuit of a Universal Power Line Manager (UPLM) is the combination of the control system of UPQC, Power flow control and frequency regulator. For these reasons, the compensator proposed here is called as the Universal Power Line manager (UPLM). The complete system has been developed, analyzed and validated by matlab/simulink study. Simulation results are presented to confirm that the new approach has better performance for wind turbine generator.
