The transient characteristics of the fault currents provided by the DGs are different to those of conventional synchronous generators. In this paper, a distribution network with multi-type DGs is investigated, including consideration of DG low-voltage ride through (LVRT). The fault current characteristics of two typical DGs, i.e. an inverter-interfaced distributed generator (IIDG) and a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), are analyzed, considering the specific operation modes. Based on analysis of the fault characteristics, an equivalent model of the multi-type DGs under symmetrical/asymmetrical fault conditions is established. A fast-iterative fault calculation method for enhancing the calculation efficiency while avoiding local convergence is then proposed using an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. A simulation system of the distribution network with multi-type DGs is established in PSCAD/EMTDC. The simulation results validate the high accuracy and calculation efficiency of the proposed calculation method of the fault components. This can assist in the settings of the protection threshold.展开更多

A simple and effective model transformation method was proposed for the system's mathematical model in the COI (center of inertia) coordinate system. The system was transformed to an uncertain linear one where deviation of generator terminal voltage became one of the new state variables. Then a wide-area nonlinear robust voltage controller was designed utilizing a LMI (linear matrix inequality) based robust control theory. The proposed controller does not rely on any preselected system operating point, adapts to variations of network parameters and system operation conditions, and assures regulation accuracy of generator terminal voltages. Neither rotor angle nor any variable's differentiation needs to be measured for the proposed controller, and only terminal voltages, rotor speeds, active and reactive power outputs of generators are required. In addition, the proposed controller not only takes into account time delays of remote signals, but also eliminates the effect of wide-area information's incompleteness when not all generators are equipped with PMU (phase measurement unit). Detailed tests were conducted by PSCAD/EMTDC for a three-machine and four-machine power systems respectively, and simulation results illustrate high performance of the proposed controller.展开更多

An interesting alternative to DC machines for the supply of DC grids is constituted by a three-phase alternator feeding an AC/DC rectifier. In this paper, alternative solutions are investigated where the AC alternator is equipped with more （iV） three-phase windings and feeds the DC load through more （N） cascade-connected rectifiers. The advantages of this solution with respect to the conventional three-phase topology are highlighted along with their dependence on the number （N） of the alternator windings. For this purpose, test results are reported and discussed on a prototype generator whose stator coils can be differently connected to obtained one, two, three or four windings. The major benefits （in terms of DC output current quality and field current ripple） are found when passing from the three-phase solution to the dual winding topology; conversely, relatively little advantage is gained by increasing the number of stator windings above two.展开更多
