H∞ Current Controller of WRIM Based Flywheel Storage System under Unbalanced Stator Voltage

ahmed lazrak, Ahmed Abbou

Abstract


Flywheel storage systems (FSSs) are commonly associated with wind farms to support them to provide services to the grid such as power smoothing, frequency control, and voltage control. Although FSSs are not concerned by the grid code requirements, their stability and availability under unbalanced stator voltages are very important to ensure both wind farm stability and supply quality. In this context, this paper proposes a robust H∞ controller for wound rotor induction machine (WRIM) driven FSS under stator voltage unbalance. The controller purpose is to suppress rotor current oscillations resulting from the negative sequence as well as to guarantee the system robustness in the presence of parameter uncertainties. The robust controller design based on mixed-sensitivity H∞ control that guarantees the robust stability (RS) and robust performance (RP) is presented in detail. The performance of the H∞ controller has been evaluated with simulations in MATLAB/Simulink using simpower systems for both unbalanced stator voltage and parameter uncertainties.
