Direct-Drive Wind Turbine System with Full-Power Converter Grid-Connection Simulation Model

Resource Overview

Direct-Drive Wind Turbine System Full-Power Converter Grid-Connection Simulation Model, Modified for Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) Simulation Capability

Detailed Documentation

A direct-drive wind turbine system is an installation that converts wind energy into electrical power. The system comprises multiple components including blades, bearings, drive motors, rotors, stators, and full-power converters. The full-power converter serves as a device that transforms direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), enabling the connection of electricity generated by the direct-drive generator to the grid. To ensure system stability and safety, low voltage ride-through (LVRT) simulation is essential for testing system performance in a simulated environment and implementing necessary modifications and improvements.
