Abstract

In order to investigate certain dynamic events of a grid connected renewable energy system (RES), a systematic model and control is developed. The RES with its converter is taken as a controlled dc current source and the grid side converter model is based on approximate power balance of the dc-link and the ac-side. Here an AC side decoupled current controller in dq reference frame and simplified net dc-bus voltage controllers are implied. Among different dynamic events that is studied, the response of the system during three-phase to ground fault, step change in reference DC voltage, active and reactive power change are studied and presented.
