Abstract :
The cross-flow water turbine generation system is, as any distributed grid connected generator, sensitive to all kind of power grid disturbances. The goal of this paper is to show how this system, by the means of its controls, is able to reject polluting harmonics. The fault ride through following voltage gaps is also proven. Experimental results obtained with a hybrid real-time test rig validate the correct operation of this system under grid disturbances.
