Online Adaptive Damping Controller Architecture for Wind Integrated Power Grid

The upsurge in renewable energy generation has led to the modernization of electric power distribution systems. Renewable energy sources, such as wind farms are often more reliable but are also prone to power quality problems such as frequency distortion, voltage variations, during grid operations, which occurs during overloading conditions, intermittency, and fault occurrences. This paper presents an approach on how to manage frequency distortions on a grid with a battery integrated windfarm during faults, load dynamics, and renewable energy source intermittency. The proposed supplementary controller is implemented for damping the secondary frequency oscillations on such a wind integrated power grid. Simulation results using the IEEE 13 Bus test feeder show significant advantages when implementing this adaptive control architecture.
