Control of Small Renewable Energy Conversion Systems

可再生能源转换系统是世界上正在发展的能源技术。加拿大拥有大量未开发的可再生能源资源，可用于满足日益增长的能源需求，而无需额外的二氧化碳排放。加拿大在可再生能源系统的研究和部署方面落后。拟议研究的目标是设计小型可再生能源转换系统的控制系统和组件，并在此过程中产生一些高素质的人才。该研究计划将有助于：（1）一个新的控制器设计和最佳控制策略的小型双馈感应风力发电机为基础的风力发电机：（2）一个新的优化规模和控制方法，增加抽水蓄能混合电力系统的偏远孤立网站;（3）一种新型的集成永磁发电机的磁谐波齿轮系统的设计，用于小型流体动能转换系统;（4）用于具有能量存储的微电网系统的新的基于d-q潮流的控制方法;以及（5）用于小型远程混合电力系统的成本有效的监督控制器和数据记录器系统的新颖的控制方案和设计。拟议的研究计划将导致新的知识和小型可再生能源系统的创新设计。预计开发的设计将在加拿大使用。因此，这项研究将有助于促进加拿大可再生能源的应用。这项研究还将帮助培训五名研究生可再生能源转换系统。

Renewable energy conversion systems are a growing energy technology in the world. Canada has vast untapped renewable energy resources that can be exploited to meet the increasing energy demand without additional CO2 emissions. Canada is lagging on research and deployment of renewable energy systems. The objectives of the proposed research are to design control systems and components of small renewable energy conversion systems and in this process produce a number of highly qualified personnel. The proposed research program will contribute the following: (1) a new controller design and an optimum control strategy for small doubly fed induction generator based wind turbines; (2) a new optimal sizing and control method of adding pumped hydro energy storage to hybrid power systems for remote isolated sites; (3) a novel design of a magnetic harmonic gear system with an integrated permanent magnet generator for small hydrokinetic energy conversion system; (4) a new d-q load flow based control method for micro-grid system with energy storage; and, (5) a novel control scheme and design of a cost effective supervisory controller and data logger system for small remote hybrid power systems. The proposed research program will lead to new knowledge and innovative designs of small renewable energy systems. It is expected that the developed designs will be used in Canada. Hence this research will help enhance the application of renewable energy in Canada. This research will also help train five graduate students on renewable energy conversion systems.
