Ripple Analysis and Suppression Method Research of Direct Drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous Wind Turbine under Wind Shear

Abstract

Wind shear is among the important sources of torque fluctuation on mechanical side and output power fluctuation on electromagnetic side and grid connection point, which frequency are triple turbine rotation frequency. With the increase in wind turbine single capacity and wind power integration scale, the power fluctuation caused by wind shear cannot be ignored. The paper takes a direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine (PMSWT) as the research object. Firstly, the fluctuation transfer mechanism model is established; then, the current ripple is extracted by a notch filter to calculate the voltage control signal to suppress power fluctuation actively by the DC link capacitor which absorbs fluctuation energy. The simulation experiment shows that the suppression strategy is effective and reliable.
