Abstract

The integration of wind turbines (WTs) in variable speed drive systems belongs to the main factors causing low stability in electrical networks. Therefore, in order to avoid this issue, WTs hybridization with a storage system is a mandatory. This paper investigates WT system operating at variable speed. The system contains of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) supported by a battery storage system (BSS). To enhance the quality of active and reactive power injected into the network, direct power control (DPC) scheme utilizing space-vector modulation (SVM) technique based on proportional-integral (PI) control is proposed. Meanwhile, to improve the rendition of this method (DPC-SVM-PI), the rooted tree optimization technique (RTO) algorithm-based controller parameter identification is used to achieve PI optimal gains. To compare the performance of RTO-based controllers, they were implemented and tested along with some other popular controllers under different working conditions. The obtained results have shown the supremacy of the suggested PI_RTO algorithm compared to competing controllers regarding total harmonic distortion (THD), overshoot percentage, settling time, rise time, average active power value, overall efficiency, and active power steady-state error.
