This paper describes optimal reactive power control of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), which is widely used in a distributed generating plant. Although its structure is similar to that of an induction motor, its reactive power control is more complicated. In this paper, steady-state power transfer equations are derived and developed for a doubly fed structure of the induction generator...

The aim of this paper is to propose different methods of control for a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) used in wind energy conversion systems. This paper presents a comparative study on the performance of three control methods for DFIG wind turbine.

The demand for electricity from renewable sources continues to rise, and with it, the need for more efficient wind energy conversion systems. Wind turbines equipped with a wound-rotor induction machine can be operated in a more efficient configuration than currently popular, with little to no change in system hardware. By coupling the machine to the grid inversely to the norm, losses in the sys...

This paper presents results of a study concerning the dynamic behaviour of a wind energy system powered by a doubly fed induction generator with the rotor connected to the electric network through an AC-AC converter. A tendency to put up more and more wind turbines can be observed all over the world. Also, there is awareness in taking into account the requirements of a clean environment, due to...

This chapter introduces the operation and control of a Doubly-fed Induction Generator (DFIG) system. The DFIG is currently the system of choice for multi-MW wind turbines. The aerodynamic system must be capable of operating over a wide wind speed range in order to achieve optimum aerodynamic efficiency by tracking the optimum tip-speed ratio. Therefore, the generator’s rotor must be able to ope...

This paper describes the transient behaviour of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) driven by wind turbine after its disconnection from the grid. The induction machine runs at a specific speed with the stator disconnected from the grid (Is=0), the rotor is suddenly excited with slip-frequency voltages derived from voltage regulators so as to produce commended open-circuit stator terminal vo...
