Abstract

The wind power plant is one of the fastest growing electrical power sources. The integration of wind turbine into the power grid originates various power quality problems. Low-voltage ride through (LVRT) capability improvement is impregnating exigency in recent power quality issue, which is acquainted with various renewable power generation resources like solar PV and wind power plant. Dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) is a custom power device (CPD), which is connected in series with the electrical system, and it is a contemporary and efficient CPD expended in the distribution system to curb the power quality problems. In this paper, LVRT capability of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine system connected to a power grid is enhanced by means of DVR. LVRT capability is improved by the introduction of neural network controller. This controller fulfils the various grid code requirements. Thus, the performance of the DVR becomes far superior by the robust control technique. The simulation results were compared with conventional PI controller and the proposed artificial neural network (ANN) controller. It is proved that the proposed system raises the reliability of grid-connected DFIG wind turbine system.
