This paper deals with reconfigurable back-to-back converter topology and control orders in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). A typical WECS with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in balanced conditions is concerned. Based on the classical topology, a fault tolerant converter without any redundancy has been studied. The presented fault tolerant topology allows a “five-leg” structure wit...

The aim of this paper is to improve the reactive power compensation and active filtering capability of a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The proposed algorithm is applied to a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) with a stator directly connected to the grid and a rotor connected to the grid through a back-to-back AC-DC-AC PWM converter. The control strategy of the Rotor Side Converter (R...

This paper presents an adaptive nonlinear controller for Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in wind power generation. The control objective is to extract the maximum power (Maximum Power Point Tracking) and have a specified reactive power at the generator terminal despite the variable wind speed and the unknown mechanical parameters and mechanical torque. To achieve such a decoupled control,...

accurate modeling of the wind energy conversion system is necessary to design and implementation of the control loop for the generator and the frequency converter, in order to extract maximum power from the wind and to investigate the effects of interconnection between wind farms and power system. in this paper the combination of a permanent magnet synchronous generator loaded with a diode rect...

This paper investigates a novel single stage AC–AC power conversion, as an alternative to multistage AC– DC–AC power conversion topology, for interfacing the wind energy conversion system (WECS) to a grid as a distributed load system. A comprehensive dynamic model of proposed AC–AC converter is developed to satisfy all the functions of the converter. A new time switching pattern and a control m...

The best configuration for generating electricity energy form a variable-speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) is using double-output induction generator (DOIG). Controlling this system in order to optimum performance on maximum extracting power from wind in each speed were attracted the attention of many researchers. This kind of generators use a rectifier and inverter know as static Kram...

Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) connected to the grid is subjected to high transient currents at rotor side and rise in DC-link voltage during voltage sag at stator/grid side. To secure power system operation wind turbines have to meet grid requirements through the Low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability and contribute to grid voltage contr...

This paper describes an improved sensorless vector control strategy for a squirrel cage induction generator used in variable speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS). The main goal is to design a robust control algorithm immune to generator parameter variations. In order to estimate the rotational speed of the induction generator, a model reference adaptive system (MRAS observer) is used. It...
