Voltage source (VS) control based on inertia synchronization is a novel phase lock loop (PLL)-less autonomous grid-synchronization control strategy suitable for the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based wind turbine. It can autonomously sense grid frequency fluctuations by adopting the dynamics of DC-link capacitor, and it has the advantage of stable operation in an extremely weak grid. This paper further studies the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) of the PMSG-based wind turbine under the VS control, and presents a wind turbine structure with the additional energy storage battery on the DC side, which not only improves its LVRT capability but also enables the wind turbine to participate in the grid primary frequency regulation. The transient characteristics of VS-controlled wind turbines after the occurrence of the short-circuit fault are analyzed, and a current suppression strategy via switching the virtual resistor in the control loop of the grid-side converter (GCS) is presented. Through coordination with the energy storage battery, the LVRT of the PMSG-based wind turbine is realized, which has the advantage of withstanding a long-time short-circuit fault. Finally, based on the PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform, the feasibility of the control strategy and the correctness of the theoretical analysis are verified.

In order to improve stability of the microgrid operation connected to distribute network, the power flow fluctuations are smoothed. In this paper, a kind of flexible interconnection interface was studied in this paper, based on voltage source converter low voltage direct current(VSC-LVDC) containing energy storage. According to the mathematical model of VSC-LVDC and battery, a dual vector decoupling three-loop control strategy consisted of stages charging is proposed, and the battery charging and discharging switch control is offered, for charging and discharging of the energy storage, the bidirectional power transmission and suppressing power fluctuations. A simulation model is built that microgrid connected to distribute network using the flexible interconnection interface, and the conditions of power fluctuation, battery charging and discharging switch and the short-circuit fault at the microgrid side AC bus are simulated. The simulation results show that the control strategy effectively suppresses the power fluctuations of point of common coupling(PCC), guarantee the stability of the power flow.

The proportion of wind power in power systems is increasing year by year. Large-scale wind turbine off the grid when grid system failures. So the wind turbine needs to low voltage ride through (LVRT) function of wind turbine. Aiming at this problem, which in this article by DIgSILENT simulation software build 1.5MW doubly-fed wind turbine(DFIG) model, using active Crowbar and series grid side converter (SGSC) control strategy to realize the simulation of low voltage ride through of wind turbine. The control strategy of active Crowbar is mainly through the short circuit of rotor side converter to realize LVRT, and needs to be matched with the active and reactive power control strategy. SGSC is a novel converter structure, which mainly through compensating stator flux drop to realize LVRT. Finally this two kinds of control strategies were compared, demonstrated SGSC control strategy can achieve the low voltage ride through capabilities of the doubly-fed wind turbine.

Recently, the penetration of energy storage systems and photovoltaics has been significantly expanded worldwide. In this regard, this paper presents the enhanced operation and control of DC microgrid systems, which are based on photovoltaic modules, battery storage systems, and DC load. DC–DC and DC–AC converters are coordinated and controlled to achieve DC voltage stability in the microgrid. To achieve such an ambitious target, the system is widely operated in two different modes: stand-alone and grid-connected modes. The novel control strategy enables maximum power generation from the photovoltaic system across different techniques for operating the microgrid. Six different cases are simulated and analyzed using the MATLAB/Simulink platform while varying irradiance levels and consequently varying photovoltaic generation. The proposed system achieves voltage and power stability at different load demands. It is illustrated that the grid-tied mode of operation regulated by voltage source converter control offers more stability than the islanded mode. In general, the proposed battery converter control introduces a stable operation and regulated DC voltage but with few voltage spikes. The merit of the integrated DC microgrid with batteries is to attain further flexibility and reliability through balancing power demand and generation. The simulation results also show the system can operate properly in normal or abnormal cases, thanks to the proposed control strategy, which can regulate the voltage stability of the DC bus in the microgrid with energy storage systems and photovoltaics.

As the number of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)- based wind-turbine systems continues to increase, wind turbines are required to provide Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) capability, especially under the condition of grid voltage dips. This paper, depending on the operating characteristics of doubly-fed induction generator during grid faults ,deals with a protection and control strategy on rotor-side converter (RSC) to enhance the low voltage ride through capability of a wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The simulation and experiment studies demonstrate the correctness of the developed model and the effectiveness of the control strategy for DFIG-based wind-turbine systems under such adverse grid conditions.

The control strategy based on predictive current is proposed to solve problems that destruct stable operation of grid-connected photovoltaic system during asymmetrical fall. A mathematical model of PV inverter is established to calculate current instruction; a method of tracking based on predictive current is proposed to reduce the fluctuations of 2 times frequency. In the meantime, PV inverter provides reactive power to support voltage recovery according to the depth of grid voltage sags and realize LVRT. The result also shows that the proposed control strategy can reduce wave of DC voltage and provide reactive power to support voltage recovery.
