Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of renewable energy sources such as wind power, driven by the necessity of sustainable and clean energy. Wind power has emerged as a major contributor to the global energy mix, with the potential to play a significant role in satisfying the growing energy demand worldwide. In order to harness the full potential of wind power, power electronics technology has become an essential component of wind energy systems.

This Special Issue of the MDPI journal Electronics seeks to showcase recent research advances in the field of power electronics in wind power systems. The focus of this Special Issue is on innovative power electronics solutions that enable efficient and reliable wind power generation, while addressing the unique challenges that are associated with wind energy conversion. We invite authors to submit original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that highlight recent advances in power electronics for wind power systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Power electronics for wind turbines, including power converters, control strategies, and protection systems;
  • Integration of wind power systems with the electric grid, including grid connection and control strategies;
  • Power electronics solutions for offshore wind power systems, including floating wind turbines, subsea cables, and offshore wind farm control;
  • Innovative power electronics technologies for wind energy storage, including batteries, supercapacitors, and flywheels;
  • Reliability and fault tolerance of power electronics in wind power systems.

The manuscripts submitted to this Special Issue will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and the accepted papers will be published online as soon as they are accepted. We encourage researchers and practitioners working in the field of power electronics and wind power to submit their original research to this Special Issue. This will be an excellent opportunity to showcase your work to a global audience and contribute to advancements in the field.

This paper studies the stability of a real-world wind farm, Bison Wind Generation System (BWGS) in the state of North Dakota in the United States. BWGS uses an AC collector grid rated at 34.5 kV and a symmetrical bipolar high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission grid rated at ±250 kV. The HVDC line transfers a total power of 0.5 GW, while both the HVDC rectifier and inverter substations use line-commuted converters (LCCs). The LCC-based rectifier adopts constant DC current control to regulate HVDC current, while the inverter operates in constant extinction angle control mode to maintain a fixed HVDC voltage. This paper proposes a frequency scan-based approach to obtain the d–q impedance model of (i) BWGS AC collector grids with Type 4 wind turbines that use permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) and two fully rated converters, and (ii) an LCC-HVDC system. The impedance frequency response of the BWGS is acquired by exciting the AC collector grid and LCC-HVDC with multi-sine voltage perturbations during its steady-state operation. The resulting voltage and current signals are subjected to a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to extract frequency components. By analyzing the impedance frequency response measurement of BWGS, a linear time–invariant (LTI) representation of its dynamics is obtained using the vector fitting (VF) technique. Finally, a Bode plot is applied, considering the impedance of the BWGS and grid to perform stability analyses. This study examines the influence of the short circuit ratio (SCR) of the grid and the phase lock loop (PLL) frequency bandwidth on the stability of the overall system. The findings provide valuable insights for the design and verification of an AC collector and LCC-based HVDC transmission systems. The findings suggest that the extraction of the impedance model of a real-world wind farm, achieved through frequency scanning and subsequent representation as an LTI system using VF, is regarded as a robust, suitable, and accurate methodology for investigating the dynamics, unstable operating conditions, and control interaction of the wind farm and LCC-HVDC system with the AC grid.
