ARCHITECTURE OF WIND ENERGY SYSTEMS
Growth in installed capacity till 2020
Largest wind turbines Planned and
Commissioned
• Gold Wind – 16MW –Planned - offshore
• Rotor Dia 252 m
• Mingyang – 16MW - planned – offshore(MySE 16.0-242)
• Height: 866 feet (264 m)
• Blade length: 387 feet (118 m)
• Rotor diameter: 794 feet (242 m)
• Vestas – 15MW -V236-15.0MW –offshore planned
• Rotor diameter: 236 m
• SGRE – 14MW- SG 14-222 – offshore - planned
• Rotor diameter: 222 m
• GE – 14MW - Haliade-X 14 MW – offshore – Operating
• Rotor diameter: 220 m
• Height: 260 m
Type A : Fixed speed turbines
SCIG
Soft Starter
Capacitor Bank
Transformer
Grid
G Box
Turbine
• Asynchronous Generator
• Direct grid connection (use soft-starter for smoother grid connection)
• SCIG draws reactive power, so capacitor bank is used for VAr
compensation
• Wind fluctuations = power fluctuations = voltage fluctuations
• Type A0: stall control Type A1: pitch control Type A2: active stall
control
Type B : Limited variable speed turbines
Variable
Resistance
Soft Starter
Capacitor Bank
Transformer
Turbine
G Box
Grid
WRIG
• Asynchronous Generator with variable resistance control
• Direct grid connection (use soft-starter for smoother grid connection)
• SCIG draws reactive power, so capacitor bank is used for VAr
compensation
• Variable resistance control = slip control = power control
• Power control smooths out effect of wind fluctuations
Type C : Limited variable speed with partial size
converter
Transformer
Turbine
G Box
Grid
WRIG
Transformer
Inverter 1/3 Size
• Known more commonly as Doubly Fed Induction Generator DFIG
• Inverter rated at 1/3 power
• Inverter performs VAr compensation and soft-start function
• Smooths out effect of wind fluctuations
• Wider wind speed range than fixed speed = more energy capture
• Drawbacks: slip rings, protection in case of grid faults
Type D : Variable speed with full size converter
Transformer
Turbine
G Box
Grid
Inverter Full Size
SCIG / PMG
• Full size inverter - IGBT devices
• Inverter provides VAr compensation and smooth grid connection
• More efficient energy capture
• Generator completely isolated from grid I.e. from grid faults
• Mechanics decoupled from grid - longer gearbox life
• Choice of generator types (change inverter control software)
• Can eliminate gearbox to have direct driven generator e.g. PMG
Wind energy power conversion options
Wind Converter
• The power converter can not only transfer the power from a wind
generator, but also improve the stability and safety of the system.
Full power converter ( SCIM, Sync Gen)
Partial converter (DFIG)

Converter Power Circuit
• Power circuit ( IGBT, DC capacitors and line reactors(grid &
Machine side))
• Filter ( PWM filter and DV/DT filter)
• Reactors ( grid side reactor and current sharing)
• DC link
• Dynamic Braking (chopper) and resistors
• Switching Components (Circuit breaker and contactor)
• Pre-charge Circuit
• Bus bar and cables

IGBT and power circuit
Chopper circuit in wind converter
Crow bar circuit in wind converter
PWM Filter
DV/DT Filter
PWM filter Function
 To maintain supply voltage quality to within acceptable limits by
providing a shunt path for distorting currents caused by PWM voltage
 The filter must also withstand any further pre-defined distortion that
may be present on the grid
 Typically 5th and 7th type harmonics
 The design of the filter is dependent upon:
Switching frequency of the PWM source
DC bus capacitors will be place to the back side
of power modules
Converter Control circuit
DFIG Control Circuit
Control Strategies
• Motor Control (FOC or DTC )
• Sensor less vector control
• Indirect vector control
• PWM methods
• SPWM
• 3rd harmonic injection
• Space vector modulation
• Advanced space vector modulation
• Various controllers
• DSP control
• Industrical PC (Beckoff or B&R controller)
Teams involve to develop a Power converter
Hardware Engineering
Control engineering
Modelling and simulation
Electrical Calculation
Other requirement ( mechanical, cooling, interfacing and SCADA)
