Fault phase (phase 1) active energy / mechanical behaviour: WITHOUT COMPENSATION PHYSICAL ASPECTS During Fault Pmeca= Constant, Mechanical acceleration according to Inertia, Slip of induction generator is increasing, Torque at induction generator is decreasing (square of the voltage). Reactive current injection Generator Voltage > Network Voltage, Short time duration ~T s (opened rotor time constant). Recovery phase (phase 2) 1 2 High amount of reactive current.

WIND FARM WITH COMPENSATION COST MITIGATION ASSUMPTION: Fixed Speed Induction generator case Costs mitigation Power electronics VSC has a typical overload capability of 2-2.3 Keeping our case study: SVS size = 1.15 p.u with x 2 overload capability To reduce costs: Splitting SVS in D-STATCOM and MSC Splitting SVS in D-STATCOM and TSC. / R D-STATCOM TSC Rough average price for 10 Mvar 1 M 2.5 time continuous for up 2 s 21 WIND ENERGY AND GRID INTEGRATION - Madrid 24-25 January 2006 21
10 Mvar peak 1 M. EXPENSIVE. BUT In normal operation the STATCOM May control cos φ May eliminate the negative sequence. Can be a active filter STATCOM VSC (PWM) Can be a dynamic damper. Just for cos φ and negative sequence, the simple SVC is a good solution. 22 WIND ENERGY AND GRID INTEGRATION - Madrid 24-25 January 2006 22
