A case study of a 2-MW wind turbine shows that the lifecycle is significantly reduced from the individual capacitor to the capacitor bank, where the dc-link capacitor bank dominates the lifetime consumption. Furthermore, the electrical stresses of the power capacitors are experimentally verified at a down-scaled 7.5 kW prototype.
As shown, wind turbine and ultra-capacitor system are connected to a microgrid with a weak network. This microgrid is severely reacting against power fluctuations and transferred energy. Based on this, controlling power and output energy of wind turbine in this condition is of high importance.
Increase in wind speed and as a consequence, increase in wind turbine produced power puts the ultra-capacitor in charge mode which is obviously observable in the voltage of ultra-capacitor. Continuation of charging makes the ultra-capacitor to reach its charging limitation at 4.55 s.
Based on the electrical behavior at various loading conditions, the lifecycle of the single power capacitor can be predicted through its electrothermal stresses. This percentile lifetime can be translated to the Weibull lifetime distribution of the power capacitor by considering the parameter uncertainties and tolerance variations.
Wind energy source has a complex control situation because of dependence of its torque and output power on wind speed and its fluctuations. Based on this, in order to improve its control condition and dynamic efficiency, when connecting to the microgrid, ultra-capacitor which has a fast charging and discharging speed is used.
In this paper, a 2F (Farad) ultra-capacitor with an internal resistance of 1.5 mΩ is used. Each of the ultra-capacitor's cells has the initial voltage of 50 V which is placed in 16 in series to reveal an initial voltage of 800 V. The capacity of the series is 0.125F. 2.3.
