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...

Recently, an increasing number of multi-MW (1MW and up) wind generating set are being developed with a variable speed-variable pitch (VS-VP) control strategy to improve the fast response speed and get optimal energy. But the power generated by wind turbine changes rapidly because of the continuous fluctuation of wind speed and direction, and wind energy conversion systems are of strong nonlinea...

Because wind generators (WGs) in a wind power plant (WPP) produce different active powers due to wake effects, the reactive power capability of each WG is different. This paper proposes a hierarchical voltage control scheme for a WPP that uses a WPP controller and WG controller. In the proposed scheme, the WPP controller determines a voltage error signal by using a PI controller and sends it to...

Nowadays, the doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) based wind turbines (WTs) are the dominant type of WTs connected to grid. Traditionally the back-to-back converters are used to control the DFIGs. In this paper, an Indirect Matrix Converter (IMC) is proposed to control the generator. Compared with back-to-back converters, IMCs have numerous advantages such as: higher level of robustness, re...

The doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) integrated to the grid through voltage source converter-high direct current (VSC-HVDC), cascaded droop control from system frequency DC voltage, then active output of DFIG, was applied enhance regulation capability power system. improved dynamic flow (DPF) model newly proposed quantify response coordinated with inertia VSC-HVDC and DFIGs, primary sync...

In this paper steady state characteristic of a variable speed Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is investigated. Torque and speed is used as design parameters for DFIG. From mathematical model it is found that on increase of rotor injection voltage and resistance, the torque speed response is shifted from over synchronous to sub synchronous range. The stability of DFIG operation is entirely...

Low-frequency oscillation (LFO) of the synchronous generators in power systems by wind is boring. To improve robustness damping control scheme, this paper applies sliding mode (SMC) at doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), with parameter SMC optimized eigen-sensitivity. The originalities lie in, (1) states strongly associated critical modes are newly applied to design surface, (2) closed-loop ...

Wind is one of the most widely used nonconventional sources of energy. A back-to-back PWM converter is used as the excitation power supply for the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind power generation of variable speed constant frequency (VSCF).The Simulink model and control strategy of converter which is connected between rotor and grid is analyzed. Stator-flux oriented vector control ap...

Recently, direct power control (DPC) based proportional-integral (PI) controllers have become dominant for doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) due to its simplicity and good dynamic response. But this strategy gives a high total harmonic distortion (THD) of the voltage large ripple. In paper, new DPC method (called as NDPC-4L-NSVPWM) is proposed on four-level neural space vector pulse width...

Doubly fed induction generators; Direct power control; Total sliding mode controller Abstract In spite of its several advantages, a classic direct power control (DPC) of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) driven by variable speed wind turbines has some drawbacks. In this paper, a simple and robust total sliding mode controller (TSMC) is designed to improve the classical DPC performance wit...
