RINCHIN MOSOBI FROM THE Presented By:- FITZGERALDS SOURAV AGARWAL (2K20/EE/270) SUJAY SAKALKAR (2K20/EE/272) FROM THE FITZGERALDS RENEWABLE ENERGY Renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished. This includes sunlight, geothermal heat, wind, tides, water, and various forms of biomass. This energy cannot be exhausted and is constantly renewed. Generally, it indicates energies that are non-traditional and have low environmental impact. Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services. WIND ENERGY SYSTEM Wind energy conversion systems convert the kinetic energy associated with wind speed into electrical energy for feeding power to the grid. The energy is captured by the blades of wind turbines whose rotor is connected to the shaft of electric generators. The wind power rotates the turbine blades which in turn drive the electric generators resulting in the generation of electric power at the output of the machine. The power output from such wind energy conversion systems depend on the wind speed and the pitch angle of the turbine blades. PERMANENT MAGNET SYNCHRONOUS GENERATOR A permanent magnet synchronous generator is a generator where the excitation field is provided by a permanent magnet instead of a coil. The term synchronous refers here to the fact that the rotor and magnetic field rotate with the same speed, because the magnetic field is generated through a shaft mounted permanent magnet mechanism and current is induced into the stationary armature. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) or sometimes just power point tracking (PPT), is a technique used with sources with variable power to maximize energy extraction under all conditions. The technique is most commonly used with photovoltaic (PV) solar systems, but can also be used with wind turbines, optical power transmission and thermophotovoltaics. The two broad classes of MPPT techniques used in wind energy conversion systems are 1) sensorbased methods and 2) sensorless techniques . MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKING CURRENT WIND TURBINE TECHNOLOGY Fixed-speed turbine systems This type of wind generators works only at constant wind speed. Squirrel-cage induction machines are generally used as the generator and they are directly connected to the grid. Thus the grid frequency determines the speed of the generator and the turbine rotor as well. This type of system is called a single-speed WECS. A soft-starter is used to limit the high in-rush current (nearly 6 to 7 times the rated current for a squirrelcage induction machine) during starting. Also, an induction generator draws reactive power from the grid and in order to compensate the reactive power to support the voltage level, PF compensator is used. SIMULATION OUTPUT Variable-speed turbine systems A variable speed wind turbine is one which is specifically designed to operate over a wide range of rotor speeds. It is in direct contrast to fixed speed wind turbine where the rotor speed is approximately constant. The reason to vary the rotor speed is to capture the maximum aerodynamic power in the wind, as the wind speed varies. The aerodynamic efficiency, or coefficient of power, {\displaystyle C_{p}}C_{p} for a fixed blade pitch angle is obtained by operating the wind turbine at the optimal tip-speed ratio SIMULATION OUTPUT CALCULATION Comparioson between Fixed Speed and Variable speed turbine system A fixed-speed wind turbine always spins at the same generator/rotor speed during operation, regardless of the wind speed. Thus, the tip-speed ratio (TSR) would change with wind speed and the rotor aerodynamic performance would only be optimal at a given wind speed. The generator torque of a fixed-speed wind is dictated solely by the induction generator (only small speed deviations are expected as a result of the slip of the induction generator). A variable-speed wind turbine allows the generator/rotor speed to vary proportional to wind speed between cut-in and rated speed, thus maintaining a constant TSR and optimal aerodynamic performance. Above rated speed, the generator/rotor speed is then held constant. The torque must be actively controlled. CURRENT SCENARIO OF WIND ENERGY IN INDIA Approximately 10 million MW of wind energy is continuously available to India. India's Power Finance Corporation Limited projects that current and approved electricity capacity addition projects in India are expected to add about 100 GW of installed capacity between 2012 and 2017. This growth makes India one of the fastest growing markets for electricity infrastructure equipment. Of the 1.4 billion people of the world who have no access to electricity in the world, India accounts for over 300 million FUTURE OF WIND ENERGY IN INDIA If we want to increase the power & energy by wind then we need to replace the old turbines with new modern turbines. This replacement of wind turbines is called Repowering. In this small capacity wind turbines have to be replaced by high capacity wind turbines. Due to this installed capacity electricity output is increased. Repowering is also an economically viable solution. Also we can look for hybrid solutions- two renewable energy sources complementing each other. It must be considered for places rich in more than one kind of source Many challenges come in the way of wind power generation and a number of problems are faced. Due to these problems future of wind energy has only been deteriorating. If these challenges will be completely removed then India will set a new record of generating power & energy by wind, and the market of wind power generation will see an unprecedented growth. Wind power must strive to gain with conventional generation sources on a basis of cost. Depending upon the wind site that how energetic it is, wind farms may or may not be cost competitive. FUTURE SCOPE OF PROJECT In the variable speed wind turbine model we can also add the pitch angle control model which will handle the the power output due to change in the pitch angle of the wind turbine. We can also make a gearless wind turbine model which will eliminate the losses that occurs in the gear system. Thank you!
