Smooth synchronisation and power sharing schemes for high penetration wind diesel hybrid remote area power systems.

The paper proposes synchronisation and power sharing schemes for fast connection and smooth operation of high penetration wind-diesel hybrid systems. The synchronisation is realised by controlling the power electronic interface of the wind energy systems rather than the classical diesel engine synchronisation scheme. The power sharing between the diesel and wind systems is achieved by a modified power-frequency droop control method. The proposed schemes are tested on a simulated hybrid system to demonstrate their effectiveness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
