Wind Power: New Techniques to Protect Wind Generators during Voltage Dips
With a view to provide a solution to the problems caused by sudden dips in voltage in from wind energy, Jesús López Taberna, an industrial engineer and member of the INGEPER Research Team (Spain) has put forward in his PhD two protection techniques so that wind generators continue to be operative despite breaks in electricity supply.
Jesús López Taberna specifically proposed in his PhD thesis two effective protection systems. Both have been patented. The first, only requiring changing the control of the machine converter, has been transferred to a manufacturer for its introduction into wind farms worldwide; the other requires changing elements inside the machine, so it is still in study with the idea to apply it in the next generation of wind turbines.
