1.1 Wind Turbines & PMSG

Windmills have been used for many centuries for pumping water and milling grain. The discovery of the internal combustion engine and the development of electrical grids caused many windmills to the early part of this century. However, in recent years there has been a revival of interest in wind energy and attempts are underway all over the world to introduce cost-effective wind energy conversion systems for this renewable and environmentally benign energy source. In developing countries, wind power can play a useful role for water supply and irrigation (wind pumps) and electrical generation (wind generators). These two variants of windmill technology are discussed in separate technical briefs. This brief gives a general overview of the resource and of the technology of extracting energy from the wind.

 

1.2 Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS)

            Wind energy can be harnessed by a wind energy conversion system, composed of wind turbine blades, an electric generator, a power electronic converter and the corresponding control system. Figure 1.shows the block diagram of basic components of WECS. There are different WECS configurations based on using synchronous or asynchronous machines and stall-regulated or pitch regulated systems. However, the functional objective of these systems is the same: converting the wind kinetic energy into electric power and injecting this electric power into a utility grid.

Figure 1:-Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS)

            As mentioned in the previous section, in the last 25 years, four or five generations of wind turbine systems have been developed. These different generations are distinguished based on the use of different types of wind turbine rotors, generators, control methods and power electronic converters. In the following sections, a brief explanation of these components is presented.

 

1.3 Problem Summary

Reasons for connecting a wind plant to a main grid:

• Continuous sources of energy

• Clean source of energy

• No emissions into the atmosphere

• Does not add to thermal burden of the earth

• Produces no health-damaging air pollution or acid rain

• Land can be sued to produce energy and grow crops simultaneously

• Economical

 

1.4 Aim of project

Aim of our project is the connect wind power plant to grid source using interfacing converter, give uninterrupted power supply to consumers, make power system reliable and more useful.

 

1.5 Problem Specification

In wind power plant, main source of energy is wind and it is not available when needed, and also it is not continuous and constant. So due to this variable speed of wind, output of PMSG generator is also variable (variable voltage and frequency) that is why we cannot connect wind power plant to grid like other power plant because of synchronism problem. And that’s actual problem.

 

 

1.6 Literature Review

PWM techniques are extensively used for the control of voltage fed inverters. it is possible to control the output voltage as well as optimize the harmonics by performing semiconductor device in a current fed inverter must with stand reveres voltage, and there for standard symmetric voltage blocking device are used. (B.K. BOSE 2002)

z-source converter employs a unique impedance network (Or circuit) to couple the converter main circuit to the power source, to thus the providing unique features that cannot be obtain in traditional voltage-source (or voltage-fed) and current source (or current fed) converter where capacitor and used respectively Z-source converter overcome the concept theoretical barriers and limitation of the traditional voltage source converter and current source converter and provides a novel power concept the Z-source concept can be applied to all dc-to-ac, ac-to-dc, ac-to-ac and dc-to dc power conversion. To describe the operating principle Z-source inverter for dc-ac power conversion needed in fuel cell application.(Fang Z.Peng,2002)

Limitation of the traditional inverter, Z-source inverter for fuel cell, unique feature of the new inverter and proof of concept simulation and experimental results are discussed (Fang Z.Peng, 2002)

dc-to-ac converters are called inverter. The function of an inverter is to change a dc input to ac output of desired magnitude and frequency. Varying input dc voltage maintaining  the gain of the inverter constant can obtain a variable output voltage. The output voltage waveform of ideal inverters should be sinusoidal where practical inverter having non sinusoidal wave forms. Inverter is widely used in industries as: variable-speed ac motor drives, induction heating, Standby power supplies. U.P.S. the input may be a battery, fuel cell, solar cell etc. inverters generally use PWM control signals for producing an ac output voltage, which are thyristor dependent application. The inverter are fed from a voltage source and the load current is forced to fluctuate from positive to negative, and vice versa (M.H.Rashid power electronics 2nd edition1993).

Voltage source dc-to-ac inverters are described that accept dc voltage source as input and produce either single phase or three phase sinusoidal output voltage at a low frequency relative to the switching frequency for current source inverters. These ac-to-dc inverters can make a smooth transition in to the rectification mode where the flow of power reverses to be from the ac side to the dc side. The sinusoidal PWM switching scheme allows control of the boost converter is in regulated dc power supplies, where a negative polarity output may be desired with inspect on the common terminal of the input voltage, and output voltage can be either higher or lower than the input voltage ( N.MOHAN, W.P.Robbin, and T.Undeland,1998).

2.1 Block diagram

Figure 2:- Block diagram of wind power plant

 

With world electricity demand growing steadily, demand for renewable energy sources is also expected to increase drastically. Wind, a free, clean and inexhaustible source of energy, is increasingly competitive with other energy sources

Typically a grid operates in parallel with other grid. For wind power plant system, the interface between renewable energy source and power grid is power electronics. Inverters convert power from DC to AC with controllable voltage and variable frequency. The flexibility and control needed by wind power plant with the main grid is achieved with the help of power electronic interfaces. Each power electronics interface should provide quality power to the electric grid for the loads.

Traditionally there are two inverter namely voltage source inverter and current source inverter. Each inverter has six switches in the main circuit. These switches are power switches with ant-parallel diodes. These diodes provide bidirectional current flow and voltage blocking capability. Variable speed wind turbines are known to provide more effective power capture than fixed speed wind turbines. Yet the grid is fixed frequency at most loads. The voltage source inverter (VSI) with a DC chopper circuit has traditionally been used for this voltage level and frequency conversion. The traditional VSI, however, has the limitation only providing output voltages that are lower than input voltages. For this reason, the DC chopper circuit is used to add the boost feature. Even though this topology is functional, the extra active devices and controls add additional system costs and complexities.

Alternatively, the Impedance source inverter presented recently in not only overcomes the voltage limitation of the traditional inverter but also uses fewer components. Moreover, it is more efficient and reduces cost. As a result, it is well suited for the wind turbine system.

This project deals with Impedance source inverter for wind power plant to grid source. Impedance source inverter can be applied to the entire spectrum of power conversion. It is used as Boost-Buck conversion where capacitors are used. In this thesis, the Impedance source inverter is considered in place of voltage source inverter and current source inverter. By using this impedance source inverter the problems mentioned are rectified and then we can get higher efficiency.

2.3 Description of used component

(1) Rectifier

Ø  Types Rectifier Circuits

One of the important applications of a semiconductor diode is in rectification of AC signals to DC. Diodes are very commonly used for obtaining DC voltage supplies from the readily available AC voltage.

There are many possible ways to construct rectifier circuits using diodes. The three basic types of rectifier circuits are:

·         The Half Wave Rectifier

·         The Full Wave Rectifier

·         The Bridge Rectifier

 

Ø  Half-wave Rectifier

            The easiest rectifier to understand is the half wave rectifier. A simple half-wave rectifier using an ideal diode and a load is shown in Figure 3.1

 

Circuit operation

            Let’s look at the operation of this single diode rectifier when connected across alternating voltage source vs.

            Since the diode only conducts when the anode is positive with respect to the cathode, current will flow only during the positive half cycle of the input voltage.

Figure 4:-Simple half-wave rectifier circuit

 

We are interested in obtaining DC voltage across the “load resistance” RL.

            During the positive half cycle of the source, the ideal diode is forward biased and operates as a closed switch. The source voltage is directly connected across the load. During the negative half cycle, the diode is reverse biased and acts as an open switch. The source voltage is disconnected from the load. As no current flows through the load, the load voltage vois zero. Both the load voltage and current are of one polarity and hence said to be rectified. The waveforms for source voltage vS and output voltage voare shown in figure 3.2.

 

Figure 5:-Source and output voltages

 

We notice that the output voltage varies between the peak voltages Vmand zero in each cycle. This variation is called “ripple”, and the corresponding voltage is called the peak-to-peak ripple voltage, Vp-p.

 

·         The Full-Wave Rectifier

            The full wave rectifier consists of two diodes and a resister as shown in Figure 3.3

The transformer has a centre-tapped secondary winding. This secondary winding has a lead attached to the centre of the winding. The voltage from the centre tap to either end terminal on this winding is equal to one half of the total voltage measured end-to-end.

 

 

Circuit Operation

            Figure 6 shows the operation during the positive half cycle of the full wave rectifier. Note that diode D1 is forward biased and diode D2 is reverse biased. Note the direction of the current through the load.

Figure 6:-Full-wave rectifier- Circuit operation during positive half cycle

 

During the negative half cycle, (figure 7) the polarity reverses. Diode D2 is forward biased and diode D1 is reverse biased. Note that the direction of current through the load has not changed even though the secondary voltage has changed polarity. Thus another positive half cycle is produced across the load.

 

Figure 7:-Full-wave rectifier – circuit operation during negative half cycle

Calculating Load Voltage and Currents

            Using the ideal diode model, the peak load voltage for the full wave rectifier is m V . The full wave rectifier produces twice as many output pulses as the half wave rectifier. This is the same as saying that the full wave rectifier has twice the output frequency of a half wave rectifier. For this reason, the average load voltage (i.e.DC output voltage) is found as

Vave

Figure 8 below illustrates the average dc voltage for a full wave rectifier.

 

Figure 8:-Average DC Voltage for a Full Wave Rectifier

 

·         The Full Wave Bridge Rectifier

            In many power supply circuits, the bridge rectifier (Figure 3.6) is used. The bridge rectifier produces almost double the output voltage as a full wave center-tapped transformer rectifier using the same secondary voltage.

The advantage of using this circuit is that no center-tapped transformer is required.

 

Basic Circuit Operation

            During the positive half cycle (Figure 9) , both D3 and D1 are forward biased. At the same time, both D2 and D4 are reverse biased. Note the direction of current flow through the load.

            During the negative half cycle (Figure 10) D2 and D4 are forward biased and D1 and D3 are reverse biased. Again note that current through the load is in the same direction although the secondary winding polarity has reversed.

Figure 9: Operation during positive half cycle

Figure 10: Operation during negative half cycle

·        Traditional Source Inverter

·         Introduction

            The objective of this chapter is to describe traditional source inverter, modes of operations and comparison with impedance source inverter.

            DC to AC converters is known as inverters. The function of an inverter is to change a dc input of voltage to a symmetrical ac output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The output voltage could be fixed or variable at fixed or variable frequency. A variable output voltage can be obtained by varying the input dc voltage and maintaining the gain of the inverter constant. Inverter broadly classified with two types (a) Single phase inverter (b) Three phase inverter.

            This inverter generally use PWM control signals for producing an ac output voltage. An inverter is called a voltage fed inverter if the input voltage remains constant, a current fed inverter if the current is maintained constant, and a variable dc linked inverter if the input voltage is controllable.

 

·        Traditional Source Inverters

           Traditional source inverters are Voltage Source inverter and Current Source Inverter. The input of voltage source inverter is a stiff dc voltage supply, which can be a battery or traditional rectifier both single phase and three phase voltage source inverter are used in industries. The switching device can be a conventional MOSFET, Thyristor or a power transistor.    

                   Voltage source inverter is one which the dc source has a small or negligible impedance. In other words a voltage source inverter has stiff dc source voltage at its input terminals. A current fed inverter or current source inverter is fed with adjustable current source. In current source inverter output current waves are not affected by load.

 

·         Voltage Source Inverter

            When the power requirement is high, three phase inverter are used. When three single phase inverter are connected in parallel, we can get the three phase inverter. The gating signals for the three phase inverter have a phase difference of 120o. These inverters take their dc supply from a battery or from a rectifier using six MOSFET’s and with diodes.

A large capacitor is connected at the input terminals tends to make the input dc source constant. This capacitor also suppresses the harmonics fed back to the source. Therefore the voltage source inverter is only buck (step down) inverter operation for DC to AC power conversion or boost (step up) operation for AC to DC power conversion.

For application where over drive is desirable and the available dc voltage is limited, an additional dc-dc boost converter is needed to obtain a desired ac output. The additional power converter stage increases system cost and low efficiency.The upper and lower devices of each phase leg cannot be gate on simultaneously either by purpose or by EMI noise.

 

Figure 11:- voltage source invertors

Otherwise a shoot through problem by Electromagnetic interference noise’s misgating-on is major killer to the inverter reliability. Dead time to block both upper and lower devices has to provide in the voltage source inverter which causes the waveform distortion, etc. An output LC filters needed for providing a sinusoidal voltage compared with current source inverter which causes additional power lose and control complexity.

 

·         Current Source Inverter

              A current source inverter is fed from a constant current source. Therefore load current remains constant irrespective of the load on the inverter. The load voltage changes as per the magnitude of load impedance. When a voltage source has a large inductance in series with it, it behaves as a current source. The large inductance maintains the current constant.

           

 The traditional three phase current source inverter structure is shown in figure.2.2. A dc current source feeds the three phase main inverter circuit. The dc current source can be relatively large dc inductor fed by a voltage source such as a battery or rectifier. It consists of six switches and with anti-parallel diodes. This diodeprovides the bidirectional current flow and unidirectional voltage blocking capability.

 

 

Figure 12 :- current source inverter

           Current source inverter has the following conceptual and theoretical barriers and limitations. The ac output voltage has to be greater than the original dc voltage that the feeds the dc inductor or dc voltage produced is always smaller than the ac input voltage. Therefore this inverter is a boost inverter for dc to ac power conversion. For application where a wide voltage range is desirable, an additional dc to ac buck converter is needed. The additional power conversion stage increases system cost and low efficiency.

 

  At least one of the upper devices and one of the lower devices have to be gated on and maintained on at any time. Otherwise, an open circuit of the DC inductor would occur and destroy the devices. The open circuit problem by EMI noises misgatting-off is a major concern of the converters reliability. A current source inverter is fed from a constant current source. Therefore load current remains constant irrespective of load on the inverter. The load voltage changes as per the magnitude of load impedance. When a voltage source has large impedance in series with it, it behaves as a current source. The large inductance maintains the current constant.

·        Modes of Operation

            Three phase inverter are normally used for high power application. Three single-phase half or full bridge inverter can be connected in parallel to the form the configuration of a three phase inverter. The gating signals of single phase inverter should be advanced or delayed by 120o with respect to each other in order to obtain three phase balanced voltages.

     The three phase output can be obtained from a configuration of six switches and six diodes. Two types of control signals can be applied to the switches: 180oconduction or 120oconduction.

 

·         180o Conduction

            Each switch conducts for 180o. Three switches remain on at instant of time. When switch 1 is switches on, terminal ‘a’ is connected to the positive terminal of dc output voltage. When switch 4 is on, terminal ‘a’ is connected to the negative terminal of dc source. There are six modes of operation in a cycle and the duration of each mode is 60o. The switches are numbered in the sequence of gating the switches 123, 234, 345, 456, 561, 612.  The gating signals are shifted from each other by 60o to obtain three phase balanced voltage

The a to b line voltage is  with a phase advanced of 30o. There is a delay of  between the turning off switch 1 and turning on switch 4. Thus there should be no short circuit of the dc supply through one upper and lower switch. At any time, two load terminals are connected to the dc supply and the third one remains open. The potential of this open terminal will depends on the load characteristics and would be unpredictable. Since one switch conducts for 120o, the switches are less utilized as compared to that of 180o conduction for the load condition. The control of output voltage is done using pulse width modulation. The commonly used techniques are single phase pulse width modulation.

·        Impedance Source Inverter

·         Introduction

               The objective of this chapter is to describe theoretical, mathematical analysis and the merits of impedance source inverter

               Bridge rectifier is commonly used in high power application. The impedance network is a two part network. A two port network has input terminals and output terminals. This network also called as lattice network. This lattice network consists of split inductors (L1 phase AC supply is given to the rectifier unit; rectification is a process converting alternating current or voltage into a direct current or voltage. the three phase and L2) and capacitor (C1 and C2). The impedance source inverter consists of voltage source from rectifier supply, impedance network, and three phase inverter and with grid. This network is coupled with inverter main circuit and source. This impedance network is a second order filter, and also this network is energy storage or filtering element for the impedance source inverter. DC to AC convertor is known as inverter. The function of an inverter is to change a DC input voltage to AC output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. Three phase inverters are normally used for high power applications. We choose 120 degree conduction for proper and reliable operation of inverter. MOSFET have chosen for three phase inverter. There are three modes of operation in one half cycle for Y-connected load.

               This impedance source inverter is used to overcome the problems in the traditional source inverters. This impedance source inverter employs a unique impedance network coupled with inverter main circuit to the power source. This inverter has unique features compared with the traditional sources

 

·         Theoretical analysis

              Impedance network is a two port network. A two port network is simply a network inside a box and the network has only two pairs of accessible terminals. Usually one pair represents the input and other represents the output. This network also called as lattice network. Lattice network is the one of the common four terminal two port network.

              The lattice network is used in filter sections and is also used as alternators. Lattice networks are sometime used in preference to ladder structure in some special applications. This lattice network, L1 and L2 are series arms inductances, C1 and C2 are diagonal capacitance. This a two port network that consists of split inductors L1 and L2 and capacitor C1 and C2 connected in x-shape. This network is coupled with the main circuits and the source, to describe the operating principle of inverter.

               The impedance source inverter bridge has one extra zero state. When the load terminal are shorted through both upper and lower devices of any one phase leg or all three phase legs this shoot through zero state is forbidden in the VSI. Because it would cause a shoot-through. This network makes the shoot through zero state possible. This state provides the unique buck-boost features to the inverter.

               The equivalent circuit of the impedance source inverter is shown in fig.5.1. The inverter bridge is equivalent to a short circuit when the inverter bridge is in the shoot-through zero state. The equivalent switching frequency from the impedance source network is six time the switching frequency of the main inverter, which greatly reduces the required inductance of the impedance source network.

Figure 15:- Equivalent circuit of the impedance network

 

·         Description of impedance source network

            The impedance source network is a combination of two inductors and two capacitor. This combine circuit, the impedance source network is the energy storage or filtering element for the impedance source inverter. This impedance source network provides a second order filter. This is more effective to suppress voltage and current ripples. The inductor and capacitor requirement should be smaller compare than the traditional inverters.

           When the two inductors (L1 and L2) are small and approach zero, the impedance source network reduces to two capacitor (C1 and C2) in parallel and becomes traditional voltage source. Therefore, a traditional voltage inverters and capacitor requirements and physical size is the worst case requirement for the impedance source inverter. Considering additional filtering and energy storage provided by the inductors, the impedance source network should require less capacitance and smaller size compare with the traditional voltage source inverter.

          Similarly, when the two capacitors (C1 and C2) are small and approach zero the impedance source network reduces to two inductors (L1 and L2) in series and becomes a traditional current source. Therefore a current source inverter inductor requirements and physical size is the worst case requirement for the impedance source inverter. Considering additional filtering and energy storage by the capacitors, the impedance source network should require less inductance and smaller size compared with the traditional current source inverters.

Port 0

Port 0 is an 8-bit open-drain bi-directional I/O port. As an output port, each pin can sink eight TTL inputs. When 1s are written to port 0 pins, the pins can be used as high impedance Inputs. Port 0 may also be configured to be the multiplexed low order address/data bus during accesses to external program and data memory. In this mode P0 has internal pull-ups. Port 0 also receives the code bytes during Flash programming, and outputs the code bytes during program verification. External pull-ups are required during program verification.

 

Port 1

Port 1 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 1 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 1 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 1 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pull-ups. Port 1 also receives the low-order address bytes during Flash programming and verification.

 

Port 2

Port 2 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pullups. The Port 2 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 2 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 2 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the internal pullups. Port 2 emits the high-order address byte during fetches from external program memory and during accesses to external data memory that uses 16-bit addresses (MOVX @ DPTR). In this application, it uses strong internal pull-ups when emitting 1s. During accesses to external data memory that uses 8-bit addresses (MOVX @ RI), Port 2 emits the contents of the P2 Special Function Register. Port 2 also receives the highorder address bits and some control signals during Flash programming and verification.

 

Port 3

Port 3 is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-ups. The Port 3 output buffers can sink/source four TTL inputs. When 1s are written to Port 3 pins they are pulled high by the internal pull-ups and can be used as inputs. As inputs, Port 3 pins that are externally being pulled low will source current (IIL) because of the pull-ups.

 

RST

Reset input. A high on this pin for two machine cycles while the oscillator is running resets the device.

 

ALE/PROG

Address Latch Enable output pulse for latching the low byte of the address during accesses to external memory. This pin is also the program pulse input (PROG) during Flash programming. In normal operation ALE is emitted at a constant rate of 1/6 the oscillator frequency, and may be used for external timing or clocking purposes. Note, however, that one ALEpulse is skipped during each access to external Data Memory. If desired, ALE operation can be disabled by setting bit 0 of SFR location 8EH. With the bit set, ALE is active only during a MOVX or MOVC instruction. Otherwise, the pin is weakly pulled high. Setting the ALE-disable bit has no effect if the microcontroller is in external execution mode.

 

PSEN

Program Store Enable is the read strobe to external program memory. When the AT89S52 is executing code from external program memory, PSEN is activated twice each machine cycle, except that two PSEN activations are skipped during each access to external data memory.

 

EA/VPP

External Access Enable. EA must be strapped to GND in order to enable the device to fetch code from external program memory locations starting at 0000H up to FFFFH. Note, however, that if lock bit 1 is programmed, EA will be internally latched on reset. EA should be strapped to VCC for internal program executions. This pin also receives the 12-volt programming enable voltage (VPP) during Flash programming, for parts that require 12-volt VPP.

3.3 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

            The available AC voltage of 220V is given to the primary side of the transformer from a source. The transformer is used to step-down the voltage from an AC voltage of 220V to 24V and 24V is given to the bridge rectifiers. The rectifier converts the ac voltage into pulsating DC voltage. To filter the pulsations present in the DC output voltage of the rectifier the capacitor is connected across them the three-phase inverter is driven by the driver circuit with an angle of 1200 mode. The gate signals are controlled by the micro controller 89C51.

            The constant DC voltage as the input supply of micro controller (5V DC)   is obtained by a circuit which consists of rectifier (W04, 300V, 1A), capacitors (1000µF, 25PF).

            The drive circuits, which are controlled by micro controller, consist of opto-coupler. Circuits, which are controlled by micro controller, consist of opto-coupler to isolate the circuits of controller ad drive circuit operated at different voltage levels. The input supply for drive circuits is obtained by using the step-down transformer (230/12) V. The drive-circuit gives 12V to the corresponding gates of MOSFETs.

The hardware involve the following sections,

·         Main source circuit

·         Power supply circuit

            The main source section of hardware unit is shown in figure-- .here input voltage is 24V ac which is getting from step down transformer. This 24V is converted to DC and regulated by means of regulator by means of regulator 7805. After passing through regulator the voltage maintain constant value.

·         Bridge rectifier

            Figure is rectifier circuit, which converts ac voltage into pulsating dc voltage. In this diagonally opposite pair of diodes are made to conduct by giving ac supply. The bridge rectifier converts the given ac voltage to dc voltage.

·          Filter

            The function of the circuit element is to remove the fluctuation/pulsation (called as ripple) present in the output voltage supplied by the rectifier. It cannot give a ripple free voltage as that of dc battery, but it approaches so closely that the power supply performs so well.

·         Voltage regulator

            Its main function is to keep the terminal voltage of the dc supply constant even when

§  AC input voltage to the transformer varies

§  The load varies

§  It is impossible to get 100% constant voltage but minor variation is acceptable.

 

Ø  Opto coupler

·         As discussed in theory opto isolator is used for provide optical isolation between microcontroller and MOSFET bridge. It protects the controller against high voltage and other occurrence.

·         In this project 4n33 opto-coupler is used, pin diagram is shown below. For high power application we are using Darlington pair as discussed in theory.
