Abstract

The intermittent behavior of wind power generation results in a fast variation of both frequency and voltage magnitudes of isolated microgrids with high wind power penetration. In this paper, a hybrid energy microgrid with wind energy conversion system (WECS) and diesel synchronous generators are analyzed during wind gust conditions. Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) is connected at the same node of the WECS to mitigate the intermittent wind power generation. A developed fuzzy logic controller has been applied to achieve active power sharing. The damping of voltage fluctuation depends on SMES reactive power, which is controlled by a voltage source converter. The studied microgrid comprises 33 nodes, two diesel SGs, and two WECSs of squirrel cage induction generator type at 30% penetration level. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy to mitigate the frequency fluctuations during the wind speed gusts by smoothing power output from WECSs/SMES system. Moreover, voltage control is achieved by injecting reactive power from the SMES system. All simulations are performed by MATLAB/Simulink package.
