In March 2023, the European Parliament and the Council reached a provisional agreement to increase the binding renewable energy target to at least 42.5% by 2030. This necessitates a swift transition from synchronous generator power plants to renewable energy sources, creating a challenge of lower short circuit capacity (SCC) and low synchronous inertia. This reduction leads to a less stable power system and increased vulnerability to disturbances. To address this issue, wind power plants (WPP) are required to have Fault Ride Through (FRT) capability, which would enable them to ride through faults and contribute to the stability of the grid. FRT for WPPs becomes vital to ensure grid stability during faults. Our project aims to develop robust nonlinear FRT control solutions for grid-forming (GFM) WPPs. We will investigate their performance during grid faults, considering voltage dips, frequency changes, and phase jumps. Our work is highly relevant to the program as it addresses the increasing demand for stable renewable energy integration. Our objectives are: -Analysis and Modeling: Analyze and model GFM-WPPs' behavior during faults, understanding grid requirements and assessing GFM capabilities. -Dynamics in Low Inertia Grids: Explore FRT achievement in low SCC, low inertia grids, identifying factors and tuning control loops. -Nonlinear Solutions: Develop nonlinear FRT control strategies, focusing on stability and synchronization during faults. -Laboratory Verification: Validate the proposed FRT approach using emulated WPPs to enhance understanding. These objectives align with the program's goal of advancing renewable energy integration and grid stability, pushing the boundaries of current research. Through interdisciplinary approaches, we integrate power systems, power electronics, nonlinear control theory, and renewables, addressing the complex challenges of WPPs during grid faults. ver más
