Modular Systems for Energy and Fuel Storage

Capacitance is defined as the ratio of the electric charge on each conductor to the potential difference between them. The unit of capacitance in the International System of Units (SI) is the farad (F), defined as one coulomb per volt (1 C/V). Capacitance values of typical capacitors for use in general electronics range from about 1 picofarad (pF) (10−12 F) to about 1 millifarad (mF) (10−3 F). The capacitance of a capacitor is proportional to the surface area of the plates (conductors) and inversely related to the gap between them. In practice, the dielectric between the plates passes a small amount of leakage current. It has an electric field strength limit, known as the breakdown voltage. The conductors and leads introduce an undesired inductance and resistance.
Distributed Sensor Arrays

Force per unit charge exists in the presence of charges or charged bodies. An electric field may be static when charges do not move or move at a constant velocity. A magnetic field is produced when charges are moving in a conducting medium or in space. If currents vary in time, both an electric and a related magnetic field, called an electromagnetic field, is produced. Electric field sensors operate on the physical principles of an electric field and its effect, primarily its capacitance. Capacitance is the ratio between charge and the potential of a body (coulombs/volt Q/V = Farad is unit of capacitance). Any two conducting bodies, regardless of their size and the distance between them, have a capacitance. The capacitance depends on various factors, for example, the distance between two charged plates (Figure 1.18), plates arranged in different configurations, the changing type and position of dielectric, the presence of any material in the neighborhood, and so on. The capacitance increases, indicating distance. Measuring the capacitance may sense all these parameters.

These are abbreviated to: 1 microfarad = 10–6 farads, shortened to µF.1 nanofarad = 10–3 microfarads, or 10–9 farads, shortened to nF.1 picofarad = 10–3 nanofarads, or 10–12 farads, shortened to pF.

A mathematical model of an SC is sketched consisting of a resistor and capacitors, as shown in Figure 3. As represented the variable in the circuit are: is the terminal voltage of the SC in volts (V), is the current flowing through the SC, and are the distributed currents in ampere (A) flowing through the respective capacitors having capacitance value and which are valued in farad (F), is the internal resistance in ohm (Ω). State space equation can be acquired through this model as shown below:

Figure 4 shows a wind farm model which is demonstrated by one wind turbine with rating (1.5 MW). This induction machine is connected to a 120 kV power system with 60 HZ frequency. This connection is accomplished by a (2,500 MVA) transmission line. Voltage is stepped down using a (120/25 KV and 47 MVA) step down transformer. Transformer is connected to a 25 Kilo- meters Transmission Line to another (25/0.575 KV and 1.5 MVA) step down transformer. At this point of common coupling with the wind turbine, an arbitrary 20 Watt load was added. The DFIG consists of a wound rotor induction machine. Its stator is directly connected to the power grid while its rotor is connected through back to back, AC/DC/AC, converters. The DC Bus link rating is 1,200 V and the capacitor size is (10,000e − 6) Farad [22].
