description |
Windy energy is one of the promising alternatives to replace fossil fuel plants and
nuclear plants for safe and clean power generation. However, contemporary
technology has not yet proven that wind energy has the capacity to replace other fuel
plants. More efforts have to be endeavored for research of wind energy to increase
the efficiency and availability.
The main purpose of this report is to design a converter system that can convert the
energy from the wind turbine generator to a battery storage system, and hence can
supply the energy to the grid. This function will be achieved by designing an AC-DC
rectifier, DC-DC bidirectional converter and DC-AC inverter. A proper controller is
also needed for the energy to flow safely to battery and to grid. The Laboratory of
Clean Energy Research (LaCER) has access to the output of the wind turbine on the
roof of Block S2, and also has access to the Microgrid system which was utilized to
check the hardware designs during the experiments. After circuits were designed,
PSIM was used to carry out the simulation and verify the whole process. After that,
hardware connection including the control circuits were built and tested, and results
were recorded. The hardware testing shows similar outcomes as what simulation
suggests which further confirms the correctness of the design. |
