Method for distributed power harvesting using DC power sources
ActiveUS20080150366A1Improve reliabilitySafe operating voltageDc network circuit arrangementsPower network operation systems integrationTransverterVoltage variation
A system and method for combining power from DC power sources. Each power source is coupled to a converter. Each converter converts input power to output power by monitoring and maintaining the input power at a maximum power point. Substantially all input power is converted to the output power, and the controlling is performed by allowing output voltage of the converter to vary. The converters are coupled in series. An inverter is connected in parallel with the series connection of the converters and inverts a DC input to the inverter from the converters into an AC output. The inverter maintains the voltage at the inverter input at a desirable voltage by varying the amount of the series current drawn from the converters. The series current and the output power of the converters, determine the output voltage at each converter.

Two different control strategies are employed for a grid side converter according to amplitude change of power grid voltage: when the power grid voltage is in a normal state, the grid side converter is in an active-priority maximum power tracing control mode so that the wind turbines capture wind energy to the maximum extent; when the power grid voltage is beyond the normal range, the grid side converter is in an active priority control mode so that the dynamic reactive current which is injected into an electricity system meets the requirements of grid combining. An engine side converter is in a direct-current voltage control mode based on rotor energy storage, power unbalance of the direct-current side of the engine side converter is relieved and the direct-current voltage is stabilized by utilizing the self rotating speed of the permanent-magnet direct-driven wind turbines and the change of the kinetic energy. The active and reactive coordination control for the wind turbines before or after the sudden change of the power grid voltage is realized according to the amplitude change of the power grid voltage, the fluctuation of the direct-current bus voltage is restrained by releasing or storing the rotor kinetic energy, so that the low-voltage ride-through capability of the permanent-magnet direct-driven wind turbines is improved, reactive power support is rapidly and accurately provided for the power grid, and certain support is given to restoration of the power grid voltage.
