Eriksson. This is n open ess rtile distriuted under the retive ommons ttriution Liense, whih permits unrestrited use, distriution, nd reprodution in ny medium, provided the originl work is properly ited. Simultions done in MTL/Simulink together with experiments onduted t the Ångströms lortory re used to evlute nd disuss the totl hrmoni distortion (THD) nd totl demnd distortion (TDD) of tp trnsformer sed grid onnetion system. The grid onnetion topology n e used with different turine nd genertor topologies nd is here pplied on vertil xis wind turine (VWT) with permnent mgnet synhronous genertor (PMSG) nd its opertionl sheme. The full vrilespeed wind onversion system onsists of diode retifier, D link, IGT inverter, LL-filter, nd tp trnsformer. The full vrilespeed opertion is enled y the use of the different step-up rtios of the tp trnsformer. In the lortory study, full experimentl setup of the system ws used, lone of the on-site PMSG driven y motor ws used, nd the grid ws repled with resistive lod. With resistive lod, grid hrmonis nd possile unlnes re removed. The results show TDD nd THD elow 5% for the full operting rnge nd hrmoni vlues within the limits set up y IEEE-519. Furthermore, hnge in tp, going to lower step-up rtio, results in redution in oth THD nd TDD for the sme output power. 1. Introdution Instlled wind power on the utility grid is rpidly inresing [1]. The injetion of wind power into the eletri grid will ffet the voltge qulity. s the voltge nd power qulity must e within ertin limits to not use prolems on the utility grid, the impt of different grid onnetion shemes needs to e ssessed prior to instlltion. Severl uthors ring up the importne of this sujet s more nd more distriuted nd intermittent power is introdued into the grid [2 5]. Power eletronis ply n importnt role in distriuted genertion nd in integrtion of renewle energy soures intothegrid[2]. This pper minly fouses on wind power where there re two strong rguments for the use of full power eletroni onversion systems. First, the ility to ontrol the rottionl speed lmost freely giving the enefit of optiml energy sorption, redued lods, gerless turines, nd redued noise t low wind speeds. Seond, the power eletronis give the wind turine the ility to e n tive omponent in the power system[6]. This llows for ontrol of tive nd retive power flow nd the ility to strengthen wek grids. n evlution of tody s most ommonly used power onversion topologies for wind power n e found in [7, 8]. three lded vertil xis wind turine (VWT) with diret driven permnent mgnet synhronous genertor (PMSG) hs een developed nd uilt t Uppsl University. The ide ehind the innovtive onept is to redue the numer of moving prts to hieve roust nd osteffetive design. The vrile speed vertil xis wind turine is pssively stll regulted nd does not require ny pith mehnism. The diret driven genertor elimintes the need forgeroxndis,togetherwiththerestoftheeletri omponents, pled t ground level. This pper ontriutes to the reserh done on the 12 kw VWT prototype t Uppsl University [9 13]. The prototype turine n e seen in Figure 1, nd some of its design prmeters re shown in Tle 1.The eletril system for the grid onnetion of the turine hs een ssemled in the lortory t the Division for Eletriity t Uppsl University. The work presented in this pper ims to evlute the totl hrmoni distortion (THD) nd totl demnd distortion (TDD) of the system.

The mplitudes of the urrent hrmonis re derived with the use of the fst Fourier trnsform (FFT) with flt top window. The totl demnd distortion of the urrent wveform, TDD I,isgivenin(2) TDD I = [ [ H h=2 I2 h I L ] ] ] 100%, (2) P t = 1 2 ρp (λ) V3, (3) where ρ is the ir density, is the re swept y the turine, p is the power oeffiient, nd V is the wind speed. The power oeffiient is funtion of tip speed rtio (λ) nd represents the erodynmi effiieny of the turine. The tip speed rtio is defined in (4) λ= ω tr V, (4) where ω t is the turine rottionl speed nd R is the turine rdius. The p λ hrteristis nd the designed ontrol strtegy for the turine n e found in [10]. The system is run t n optiml p forwindspeedsof4m/sto10m/s.thisis done y the use of mximum power point trking (MPPT) lgorithm. In this pper, the MPPT lgorithm is ssumed to keep the turine t optiml p in this region. In the rnge of 10 m/s to 12 m/s, the turine is kept t fixed rottionl speed. The rottionl speed will still hve smll vritions in this region due to ontroller limittions nd urrent vritions. However,thevritionswillesmll,nditnstilleseens fixed speed opertion. For ll wind speeds ove 12 m/s until utout, the turine is run t nominl power. This differs from the designed ontrol strtegy where the turine would hve een kept t fixed rottion speed until the utout wind speed of 15 m/s. The voltge from the diret driven permnent mgnet synhronous genertors is retified vi pssive diode retifier, nd smoothened on the D link with pitor nk. The voltge on the D link vries gretly due to the vrile speed opertion nd pssive retifition. The vritions in the D voltge will e mnged y hnging the modultion index of the inverter nd using different

The LL filter offers ost effetive solution with good filtering properties. The one phse equivlent iruit of the LL filter nd tp trnsformer n e seen in Figure 3 with the orresponding omponent vlues in Tle 3.The design of the filter nd evlution of the filter prmeters re done in [20]. The filter is designed to filter out high order frequenies nd does not ffet the fundmentl. In the design, the filter resonne frequeny ws pled roughly t 1 khz s not to ffet low order frequenies nd hrmonis ut still hs good dmping t the swithing frequeny. 2.1. Tp Trnsformer Opertion. The system is operted using ll three tps, nd the tp hnge is done s soon s tp with higher step-up rtio is ville, with some hysteresis implemented. The hysteresis will not ffet the distortion for giventrnsformertpndwindspeed.thestrtegyfortp hnges is therefore s follows: in winds from 4 m/s until 7 m/s tp 1 is used, from 7 m/s until 9 m/s tp 2 is used, nd fortherestofthewindspeedstp3isused.thepossile distortion during tp hnge is not exmined in this pper s it will e very dependent on how the tp hnge is done nd will not ffet the distortion of the system for given trnsformer tp nd wind speed. 3.

In the following susetions, eh lok in Figure 2 s it is implemented in the experimentl setup, from left to right, will e desried. The genertor, seen in Figure 4, is identil to the diret driven genertor instlled in the 12 kw VWT prototype. The genertor hs round rotor nd is str onneted with the neutrl not onneted.

Results nd Disussion The experimentl results re shown in Figure 8. The two vertil lines, in oth Figures 8() nd 8(), orrespond to one-third nd two-thirds of the nominl power. The system THD s funtion of wind speed is presented in Figure 8(). The system THD is highest t low wind speeds nd dereses with inresing wind speed. We n see signifint drop in the totl hrmoni distortion when we mke tp hnge to lower step-up rtio. The effet is greter when we hve lrger hnge in the step-up rtio. The hnge from tp 1 to tp 2 hs greter redution thn the step from tp 2 to tp 3, see Figure 8(). This effet ws expeted, s we utilize lrger prt of the inverter side trnsformer winding t low step-up rtios. The system TDD s funtion of wind speed is presented in Figure 8(). The TDD is lowest t low wind speed nd inreses with higher wind speeds. s we move up in wind speed,thetddgoesupmostlyduetotheinreseinoutput urrent from the system. Here we lso see the sme trends during tp hnge s with the THD, whih is redution when operting on lower step-up rtio. Note tht the system hsitsesttddtthesmetimesthethdistitshighest vlue. The THD nd TDD re ssumed to e roughly onstnt for the wind speeds from 12 m/s until 15 m/s. This is due to tht the turine opertes t fixed power within this region.

The system TDD is well within the limits set in IEEE-519 for the full operting rnge. The redution in distortion t tp hnge follows from the shift in the operting point of the system. When we hnge the tp rtio, we lso move the rest of the system to new operting point.

In this experiment, there is no set voltge on the onnetion point so the mgnetiztion of the trnsformer n not e seprted from the output.

This shows tht the presented grid onnetion topology is vile lterntive to the more onventionl grid onnetion system from hrmoni distortion perspetive. The presented system shows promise with the lowest distortion t the highest power. Together with the overll simpliity of the system, it ould e more ost effiient nd roust lterntive for grid onnetion of renewle energy. 7. onlusions In this pper, the results from experiments on tp trnsformer sed grid onnetion topology re presented. The study evlutes the totl hrmoni distortion nd totl demnd distortion of the proposed system. From the results, we n see tht the system hs TDD nd THD elow 5% forthefullopertingrngeoftheturine.thesystemthd is lowest t high wind speeds nd inreses somewht t lower wind speeds. The TDD of the system hs the opposite trend, with low TDD t low wind speeds nd n inrese s the wind speed inreses. ommon ehvior for oth the TDD nd THD is tht tp hnge to tp with lower step-up rtio results in lower distortion for the sme output power. Furthermore, from the se study we onlude tht the mgnetiztion of the trnsformer gives rise to low order hrmonis. If the trnsformer mgnetiztion during grid onnetion is supplied y the inverter, some of the low order hrmonis in the urrent might e redued. This would improve overll system performne. knowledgments The Swedish Energy geny nd Vinnov re knowledged for supporting the Swedish enter for Renewle Eletri Energy onversion.
