Experimental investigations on power control of a hybrid wind power plant consisting of series-connected wind turbine generators

Novel idea of active and reactive power control for hybrid wind turbine generator system consisting of series-connected plural wind turbine generators is proposed, and experimental investigations on the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of the hybrid system are explored in detail with the experimental set in our laboratory. It is shown that active and reactive powers of the hybrid system output can be controlled almost constant regardless of wind velocities for the wind turbine simulators.
