This paper presents a design of pitch controller using Genetic Algorithm (GA) for variable speed wind turbine Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) . The proposed genetic pitch controller is used to get the proper pitch angle for limiting the mechanical power when the wind speed is greater than the rated wind speed. DFIG is a wound-rotor induction generator where the stator terminals of DFIG ar...

Using the FACTS controllers, such as static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), as it provides continuous reactive power, in the grid including wind turbine (WT) equipped with doubly fed induction generator, for improving voltage profile (under normal circumstances) and providing a transition ability from inductor generator transition state has been proposed. In this paper, in order to contr...

In recent years, wind energy has become one of the most important and promising sources of renewable energy, which demands additional transmission capacity and better means of maintaining system reliability. The evolution of technology related to wind systems industry leaded to the development of a generation of variable speed wind turbines that present many advantages compared to the fixed spe...

Wind energy is one of the extraordinary sources of renewable energy due to its clean character and free availability. With the increasing wind power penetration, the wind farms are directly influencing the power systems. The majority of wind farms are using variable speed wind turbines equipped with doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) due to their advantages over other wind turbine generator...

Energy is one of the most prominent factors in shaping the civilization of today. Under consideration for nonconventional energy source wind energy has turned out to be a leading source of energy. In recent years there has been a significant global commitment to develop a clean and economical alternative sustainable power source especially from wind. In this field of development wound rotor ind...

This paper presents the stability-improvement results of a synchronous generator (SG)-based one-machine infinite-bus (OMIB) system with a hybrid doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based and permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based offshore wind farm (OWF) using a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM). The operating performance of the studied PMSG-based OWF is simulated by an eq...

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,...

Abstract—In this paper, type-2 fuzzy logic control (T2FLC) and neuro-fuzzy control (NFC) for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based on direct power control (DPC) with a fixed switching frequency is proposed for wind generation application. First, a mathematical model of the doubly-fed induction generator implemented in d-q reference frame is achieved. Then, a DPC algorithm approach for c...

The paper deals with a design and implementation of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind energy conversion system (WECS) connected to the power grid. A back-to-back AC/DC/AC converter is incorporated between the stator and the rotor windings of a DFIG, in order to obtain variable speed operation. The DFIG can be controlled from sub-synchronous speed to super synchronous speed operation....
