Performance Analysis of Different Types of Wind Energy Systems for Blackstart of Microgrid

Outages and blackouts do occur in the power systems operations. In the case of blackouts, there is no adjacent network available to assist the restoration process. This Paper Analyses the performance of different wind energy systems during black start or restoration of micro grid. Black start of an islanded micro grid was observed connecting three wind generators i.e. asynchronous generators, DFIG and PMSG respectively. Simulation studies have been carried out in IEEE-399-1997 system. Results show that among three wind generators PMSG is suitable for black starting a micro grid whereas asynchronous wind generator and DFIG fail to provide satisfactory performance.
