Abstract
Wind power is one of the renewables energy resources that help to lower the global warming trend Unlike a
of wind fluctuation, the connection of a wind turbine to a grid (especially in islands where the grids are weak) could create severe problems to the transmission line designed for constant power and to the power system power conversion system which has the ability to provide the positive response of fast-dynamic energy storage for high power requirement in order to smooth out the output to eliminate rapid power oscillations on the grid This paper focuses on a Supercapacitor Energy Storage System (SCESS) in terms of modeling and the proposed control scheme is validated by simulations
Keywords: Supercapacitor Energy Storage System (SCESS), Bidirectional DC-DC Converter, Voltage Source Inverter, Active Rectifier

F i g 2 Topology ofthe SCESS The SCESS is based on a diree-phase PWM
voltage source inverter (3PVSI) connected between
connected to the DC link through a non-isolated
bidirectional DC-DC converter (NBDC) Active
power (P) is injected or absorbed by SCESS from the
line to smooth out the intermittent wind power by
charging or discharging the supercapacitor Reactive
power (Q) regulation is related to the characteristics
of each grid The Q requirement can be given in three
different way: Q-set point, power factor control,
voltage conttol [4, 5],
2 Modeling o f t h e SCESS
Fig 2 represents the SCESS connected to the
grid In our study, the power stage is made up of an
3PVSI and an NBDC The NBDC consists of a
parallel combination of an unidirectional buck and an
unidirectional boost converter The current can be
either drawn from or injected into the DC-link by the
operation mode It is required to ensure the power
balance between the primary power source
-Supercapacitor and the load by regulating the DC link
voltage to a fixed value The confrol o f t h e 3PVSI is
not only just keeping the constant DC link voltage, but also satisfy one of three requfrements: Tracking the Q-setpoint, maintenance the power factor of the SCESS, regulate the voltage at the point of common coupling Internal current and voltage loops in both converters are used
2.1 Modeling ofthe NBDC with supercapacitor
Each converter is composed of an IGBT and a
diode making up a bi-positional switch of the power-pole The equivalent series resistance o f t h e DC link switching power-pole, the positive inductor current as
the IGBT SBK and the diode DBK associated with the
buck converter take part Similarly, the negative inductor current represents discharge mode, where
only the IGBT SBS and the diode DBS associated with the boost converter in action In our approach, instead
confrolled complementarily by means of
9, 9 (defined in Fig 3 and the converter always operates in current continuous conduction mode
Trang 3The current flow direction of the inductor is the
same as the super capacitor charging power flow
dfrection There is a threshold duty cycle so called
Fig 3 Operation principle of NBDC
2.2 Modeling ofthe 3PVSI [6]
Dg that is calculated by Dg The duty
cycle d (defined in Fig 3 ) can control the current
flow direction as following: If d> DQ then inductor
averaged current should be greater than zero, charge
mode is activated (Fig 3 a), if d <DQ then inductor
averaged current should be less than zero, discharge
mode is occurred (Fig 3 b) The average
representation ofthe bidirectional described in Fig 4
IS an ideal ttansformer with a turns-ratio 1: d(t},
where d(t) represents the duty-ratio of the IGBT
associated with the charge mode:

Three-phase PWM voltage source inverter has advantages as can not only stabilize DC-link voltage, but also can adjust the grid-side power factor, reduce the current harmonic distortion, energy can flow bidirectional The simplified model of 3PVSI connected to the gnd is shown in Fig 5 where:
ê,ê,ê are three-phase voltage sources; u^,Uf,,u^
are three-phase voltage for input side of 3PVSI;
^ấb'h are three-phase current of 3PVSI, L^ is the inductance of AC side; R^ is equivalent circuit resistance; C is DC-Link capacitor; R^^ is DC side equivalent load impedance; M^C is DC voltage, i^^ is
the current of DC system
Based on the topology and Kirchhoff s law we
can get equations (3) in three-phase stationary coordinate system
The averaged dynamic model of the NBDC is
given by (2) The averaged confrol input d is defined
as a sufficiently smooth function taking values in [0,

3 Control scheme o f t h e SCESS
In our approach, there are two confrol structures
of NBDC and 3PVSI diat are shovm inFig 6 The
input signal to the NBDC is the high frequency
power mismatch which is given by outer loop control
so called "Energy management Algorithm - EMA"
EMA will not be discussed in this paper Instead, step signal will be used to generate the supercapacitor reference current, and is then compared with the actual supercapacitor current to produce the switching signals for the NBDC
Voltage Oriented Confrol (VOC) technique of 3PVSI is chosen The confrol system is dual-closed-loop confrol structure which adopts an outer voltage loop and an inner current loop The outer voltage loop
is used to guarantee the stability of the system, and
rapid response
The inner loop current controllers were designed based on the Bead-beat method as described in [5, 7]and the outer loop DC-link voltage confroUer was tuned with PI structure usmg the "symmetrical optimum" principle as described in [4]
When designing the inductor current control loop, suppose that the DC-link voltage M^^- has significantly slower variations than the inductor current i^
Moreover, if the overall conttol goal is fulfilled,
the DC-lmk voltage u^^ should remain constant So
the only conttol variable ofthe NBDC conttol system
is /^ , the conttol variable « ^ is taken care by 3PVS1
By linearizing the first equation of (2) around a quiescent operating point (w^^ is constant) one obtains
L^ = -RX+dU^^ (5)
The fransfer fimction relating the inductor current with the duty ratio vanations is computed sfraight forwardly:
GA^) = (6)
If one considers that f 7 ^ = « ^ (the confrol
goal is fulfilled by 3PVSI conttoller), then the plant is invariant with the operatmg point Furthermore, consider a PI controller o f t h e NBDC plant such that
the inductor current follows its reference if Because
the inductor current plant is ffrst order, PI confroUer may be effectively used to ensure both zero steady-state error and conttolled bandwidth By choosing the current confroUer as:

4 Simulations
4.1 Simulation Parameters
A simulation model was built and parameters
were shown in table I The numerical simulations are
carried out with Matlab/Simulink/SimPowerSystems
The supercapacitor block in SimPowerSystems is a
generic model parameterized to represent most
popular types of supercapacitors The block employs
Stern equation and Tafe! equation as in [8]
Fig 7, Inductor current response
4.2 Simulation Results
One of the key variables in the overall system performance was the active power exchange (proportional to the inductor current of the NBDC and the direct current component of VSI as well) between SCESS and the grid Thus, its value had to
be tightly confrolled Fig 7 shows the inductor current response to a step-change illustrated the
discharge mode (Negative inductor current value)
Fig 8 and Fig 9 show the performances ofthe 3PVSI While active power is exchanging (SCESS alternated between charge mode and discharge mode), the voltage o f t h e DC link were kept constant
as shown in Fig 10 The three-phase components: voltage and current ofthe SCESS is shown inFig 11 Fig 12 explains the dynamic performances of the supercapacitor during charging and discharging process m terms of voltage, current and energy

5 Conclusion
Active power flow confrol is the most essential
conttol loop which permitted us to integrate the
SCESS to the wind turbine so that to mitigate the
power fluctuation It can be observed that the tracking
performances of the tuned confrol loops closely
follow the references We can confirm that the
proposed conttol scheme of the supercapacitor ESS
which consist of a NBDC and a 3PVSI has
successfully applied in active power conttol create
good condition to develop a proper energy
management algorithm which will be discussed in
another paper
