1 120 CHAPTER 6 POWER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF SCIG IN WIND FARM USING STATCOM WITH SUPERCAPACITOR 6.1 INTRODUCTION For a long time, SCIG has been the most used generator type for wind turbines because of the robust technology and low cost. Main drawback of such generator is that it needs reactive power for their operation, which is normally provided using FC compensation. But, reactive power consumption depends on the real power produced by SCIG, which in turn relies on the fluctuating wind speed. FC cannot provide dynamic compensation thereby leading to voltage fluctuations in the grid. As the wind penetration level is increasing day by day, these problems are also increasing. So, STATCOM is preferred for providing dynamic compensation. But during grid fault conditions, STATCOM is not able to provide sufficient amount of reactive power, which makes the WEG to get tripped off from the grid. So, in order to increase the transient stability margin of WEG, which is the measure of FRT capability, use of new energy storage technology supercapacitor with STATCOM is proposed in this chapter. This chapter also focuses on the use of charging and discharging tests on supercapacitor 100PP14, to develop the equivalent circuit model to characterize symmetric supercapacitors which is used for simulation with STATCOM in MATLAB Simulink. It also deals with the application of STATCOM with supercapacitor for mitigating other power quality issues related to SCIG based windfarms such as voltage

2 121 fluctuations, harmonics, power transients, STATCOM DC link voltage overshoots and dips apart from improving the FRT capability of WEG. 6.2 SUPERCAPACITOR Supercapacitor technology has been available commercially for over the past decade.they can store more energy than conventional capacitors and are available in various sizes. They can be charged and discharged faster than batteries. Supercapacitors integrated with a power conversion system can be used to assist the electric utility by providing voltage support, power factor correction, active filtering, and reactive and active power support. They also have higher cycle life than batteries, which results in longer life span. There is a strong need to gain a better understanding of supercapacitors when used in electric utility applications.this requires suitable models that can be incorporated into different software programs such as MATLAB Simulink, PSPICE, PSCAD etc. used to create dynamic simulations for different applications (Stanley 2000). 6.3 DETERMINATION OF EQUIVALENT CIRCUIT PARAMETERS OF SUPERCAPACITOR A supercapacitor can be modeled in a similar manner to conventional capacitors. There are many models developed to characterize the electrical behavior of supercapacitor (Faranda 2007).The multi branch model defines the capacitance of the supercapacitor as a constant capacitor with a parallel capacitor dependent on voltage. This voltage dependence of capacitance implies that more energy can be stored in it than expected. The transmission line model of supercapacitor is a complex network of non-linear capacitors connected between them by resistors. Figure 6.1 shows the

3 122 classical model of supercapacitor, where ESR is equivalent series resistance, C is the capacitance and EPR is the equivalent parallel resistance of supercapacitor. Figure 6.1 Classical model of supercapacitor In short, the most important parameters of a supercapacitor include capacitance, ESR and EPR. Capacitance decides the energy capability that can be stored in a supercapacitor.esr consists of electrode resistance, electrolyte resistance and contact resistance. Power is wasted for internal heating when charging or discharging. For the supercapacitor, ESR is in the range of milliohms and it influences the energy efficiency and power density. EPR is an inner equivalent parallel resistance, usually in hundreds of ohms and decides the leakage current when the supercapacitor is in stand-by-mode ESR Measurement Figure 6.2 shows the experimental setup for determining the ESR of supercapacitor (Yao 2006). Initially the supercapacitor is charged to the rated voltage and then it is discharged. Instantaneous voltage drop and current at the beginning of the discharging are recorded by two probes of an oscillograph. The voltage drop and discharging current can be measured

4 123 through resistor sampling. The ESR is the quotient of voltage drop to discharge current. Figure 6.2 Experimental circuit to find ESR by voltage drop method EPR Measurement The supercapacitor is charged to a specified voltage. Then the power supply is disconnected and left in the self discharging state. The voltage of supercapacitor declines approximately according to equation (6.1)(Yao 2006).EPR in is given by EPR=(t 2 -t 1 )/(ln (U 2 /U 1 )*C) (6.1) where U 1 and U 2 are the voltages in V at t 1 and t 2 (in s )respectively, C is the supercapacitor s rated capacitance in Farads. EPR varies with the environment temperature. Self discharging becomes more serious when temperature rises Capacitance Measurement Supercapacitor is charged to full rated voltage. Then it is allowed to discharge through a known value of resistance and the time taken for the rated voltage to reduce to half the rated value is noted using stop watch.

5 124 Then the capacitance in Farads is calculated using the Equation (6.2) (Yao 2006). C = t/(r ln 2) (6.2) where t = discharge time in s and R = Known load discharge resistance in Testing Results of Supercapacitor 100PP14 Supercapacitor used in this work is 100PP14, which is rated for 100V and has an energy density of 14.2 kj. It is an Electrochemical Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) having bipolar symmetric carbon/carbon electrodes and an aqueous KOH electrolyte. It has internal balancing circuits. Its characteristics are high power cycling capacity of 300,000 cycles, wide operating temperature of -45 degrees to +55 degrees, quick recharge and free form fire and explosion hazards because of rugged construction. Its equivalent circuit parameters can be found by conducting charging and discharging tests on the supercapacitor. 100PP14 supercapacitor is charged to the rated voltage of 100V from an AC source through an autotransformer. A filter capacitance of 470 microfarad and 250V is used to remove ripples in DC voltage output. Once it reaches the rated voltage, supercapacitor is discharged through a load resistance of 28.6 ohms, 250W. Figure 6.3 shows the charging and discharging set up of the supercapacitor. Figure 6.4 shows the charging and discharging characteristics of 100PP14. Table 6.1 and 6.2 show the results.

7 126 From the results, 100PP14 supercapacitor s equivalent circuit parameters are found to be: C CALC = 3.278F DC ESR = DC EPR = STATCOM WITH SUPERCAPACITOR STATCOM is operated as shunt connected static VAR compensator whose inductive or capacitive output current can be controlled independent of AC system voltage. It can rapidly supply dynamic VAR required during system disturbances and faults for voltage support. However, because of less energy density of DC link capacitor used in STATCOM, there is a large voltage dip in DC link voltage which limits the reactive power capability of STATCOM (Zhengping Xi 2008). Recent developments in the field of supercapacitors have led to the achievement of high specific energy and high specific power devices which are suitable for energy storage in high power electronic applications (Barker 2002). As supercapacitors have time constants from fractional seconds to seconds, compared to the time duration of power line transients in the range of microseconds, these devices can be able to withstand short duration surges specified in standards (Nihal Kularatna 2010). FRT Capability of SCIG can be improved by STATCOM to preserve the power system security. But during the fault,the reactive power capability of STATCOM is limited which can be enhanced by connecting a supercapacitor with STATCOM. Also after the fault is cleared, the electromagnetic torque should be developed quickly by SCIG to counterbalance the mechanical torque produced by wind turbine. Because of the fast dynamic characteristic of supercapacitor, this is achieved by SCIG so

8 127 that it remains connected to the grid without being tripped by over speed protection devices. When FC compensation is used for WEG, it is seen that there are no harmonics. But when STATCOM is used, it introduces voltage harmonics at PCC, which causes current harmonics also. When supercapacitor is used with STATCOM,it is found that harmonics are reduced in both voltage and current. Also, when there are random wind speed variations, voltage fluctuations are very much reduced when supercapacitor is used with STATCOM. 6.5 SIMULATION RESULTS - TRANSIENT PERFORMANCE OF WEG It was found in section that 100PP14 supercapacitor is having an equivalent series resistance of 0.125, equivalent parallel resistance of and capacitance of F. In transmission and distribution applications, supercapacitors have to be connected in series in order to withstand high voltage stress (Srithorn 2006). The supercapacitor used here is required to be connected in parallel with the STATCOM DC link capacitor rated for 600V. So, six numbers of 100PP14 supercapacitor have to be connected in series and accordingly a modified equivalent circuit with capacitance 0.55F, equivalent series resistance of 750 m and equivalent parallel resistance of 900 is considered for simulation. The schematic diagram of the two machine system shown in Figure 3.6 with VAR compensation as STATCOM with supercapacitor is considered for the study. The load connected to the system is assumed to be RL load of 0.9 power factor lagging. A STATCOM of 250kVAR with the modified model of supercapacitor is installed at PCC. The transient stability of SCIG under different fault conditions of various fault duration using STATCOM with supercapacitor compensation is studied. Performance with different penetration levels are also analyzed for each type of fault.

9 kw SCIG Connected to 2000kVA Alternator (Medium Penetration) The penetration level of WEG is 12.5% for Case-1 as a steam turbine- alternator of 2000 kva capacity is connected to the 250 kw SCIG coupled to a wind turbine Single line to ground fault A single line to ground fault is simulated at PCC for the considered system operating at full load. Wind speed is assumed to be 10m/s as this is the speed normally occurring in practice. Simulation is repeated for different fault durations and corresponding values of the performance indices are given in Table 6.3. STATCOM DC link voltage Vdc is maintained at 600V before and after fault. Alternator speed and Vpcc settle at 1 pu. Vpcc settles at and 0.982pu after the fault clearance for 100ms and 625ms faults respectively. Figure 6.5 shows the plots of the parameters for a fault duration of 100ms. It is found that all parameter variations are reduced when super capacitor is used with STATCOM.

11 Double line to Ground fault A double line to ground fault is implemented at PCC. Figure 6.6 System performance indices for double line to ground fault of 100ms duration at PCC for a wind speed of 10m/s at full load of 0.9 power factor lagging (case 1)

12 131 Table 6.4 shows the results for double line to ground fault for different durations. Figure 6.6 shows the plots for 100ms fault duration. For 100ms fault duration, Vpcc and Vdc settle at 1pu and 600V respectively. For 400ms fault duration, Vpcc and Vdc settle at respective values of 0.93 pu and 580V. When the fault duration is increased to 550ms, SCIG speed increases indefinitely and the system becomes unstable.

When the wind speed is reduced to 8m/s from 10m/s, for the same type of fault and duration, the system comes back to original condition and the system becomes stable. Table 6.5 shows the transients for 8m/s during fault condition. Figure 6.7(ii) shows the plots of and T e corresponding to this condition.

14 133 For the double line fault of 550ms duration at 10m/s, the system becomes unstable. But when the load demand is reduced to half load, the system retains its stability by returning to original condition. Alternator speed settles at pu. and Te respectively settle at 171 rad/s and 975 Nm. Table 6.6 shows the parameters variations for half load. Figure 6.7(iii) show the plots of and T e.

For 50ms, 100ms and 200ms fault durations, Vpcc settle at 1pu, 0.99 pu and 0.94 pu respectively. Figure 6.8 shows the plots for 100ms fault. Vdc settles at 600V for 50 and 100ms fault and 580V for 200ms fault.

If unity power factor load is used for same type and duration of fault, the system retains its original condition thereby stability is attained. Vpcc settles at 0.9 pu after the fault.

Figure 6.11 shows the plots for 100ms fault. When the fault duration is increased to 300ms, the SCIG speed increases indefinitely and becomes unstable. But, for same fault duration, when the wind speed is reduced to 8m/s from 10m/s, the system remains stable. Table 6.11 shows the results.

For highly resistive load, the transient stability margin is increasing, as the resistance component of load offers damping effect to rotor acceleration. Table 6.16 shows the maximum reactive power consumption of SCIG (Q max ) and maximum SCIG speed ( max ) during fault, settling time (t s ) after the fault and transients in STATCOM DC link capacitor voltage (V dc ) during fault for double line to ground fault (L-L-G) and three phase to ground fault (L-L-L-G) with different compensation techniques. When higher rating of STATCOM is used, it provides a compromising solution with respect to settling time (t s ) after the fault and maximum SCIG speed ( max ) during the fault for symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults. Transients in DC link capacitor voltage are adequately suppressed when supercapacitor is used with STATCOM. Recovery voltage is also improved when supercapacitor is added to STATCOM. Table 6.17 shows the comparison of transient stability margin of SCIG for different faults under various compensations at 10m/s wind speed and 27% wind penetration level. The results show that, if lesser rating of STATCOM is used with supercapacitor, it provides better transient stability

27 146 margin than STATCOM for symmetrical faults. But for unsymmetrical faults, the transient stability margin remains unaltered. When higher rating of STATCOM is used, improvement in transient stability margin of SCIG for both symmetrical and unsymmetrical faults are 12.8% and 11.5% respectively, when compared to STATCOM.

32 SUMMARY Simulation and analysis of SCIG based WEG performance with STATCOM and supercapacitor was done. Results show that the transient stability margin of WEG in increased thereby improving its FRT capability according to the grid code requirements. Reactive power consumption of SCIG during fault and settling time after the fault are considerably reduced when STATCOM with supercapacitor is used. It can also be inferred that harmonics in voltage and current are minimized when supercapacitor is added to STATCOM. Also voltage fluctuations due to wind speed variations and load variations are reduced when supercapacitor is used with STATCOM. STATCOM DC link voltage dips and overshoots, real and reactive power transients are also reduced to a larger extent because of the addition of energy storage device with STATCOM.
