Abstract :
A large capacity PCS (Power Conditioning System) applied to PMSG (permanent magnet synchronous generator) of wind turbine has been developed and the operation characteristics of the PCS were tested with the same conditions in actual field operation. The low voltage ride through capability that required in each country grid code was evaluated by a digital simulation and a simulator test with a scale-down model of PCS installing actual control card, a motor generator set and grid simulator. It was confirmed that the PCS continuously operate without disconnection during the low voltage condition simulated by the grid simulator. Then the LVRT capability for actual 2MW-PCS is also evaluated with the digital simulation.
