The economic and environmental side effects of fossil fuels have forced governments and authorities to investigate sustainable solutions. Main interest is focused on environment friendly benefits, provided by renewable energy sources. The growth rate of these energy sources has increased remarkably in the past few years. Correspondingly the research and development in the field of power electronics has also increased, especially in medium voltage and high power grid connected systems. The grid behaviour of the renewable energy systems is heavily influenced by the control techniques of these systems. For further development of these control methods the most basic and conventional way is to simulate, test and prove the system performance on a down-scaled lab test bench. The objective of this thesis is to develop a laboratory test bench grid emulator for network integration studies. Design and performance are investigated by introducing several kinds of unbalanced voltage conditions to test the behavior of connected systems. Voltage dips and swells are implemented to test the system’s performance. 2014-11-05T03:35:35Z 2014-11-05T03:35:35Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9088 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town
