Differential Evolution Based IDWNN Controller for Fault Ride-Through of Grid-Connected Doubly Fed Induction Wind Generators

Differential Evolution Based IDWNN Controller for Fault Ride-Through of Grid-Connected Doubly Fed Induction Wind Generators

The key objective of wind turbine development is to ensure that output power is continuously increased. It is authenticated that wind turbines (WTs) supply the necessary reactive power to the grid at the time of fault and after fault to aid the flowing grid voltage. At this juncture, this paper introduces a novel heuristic based controller module employing differential evolution and neural netw...

Unbalanced-Grid-Fault Ride-Through Control for a Doubly Fed Induction Generator Wind Turbine with Series Grid-Side Converter

The grid codes now require doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines having the “low voltage ride-through (LVRT)” capability. However, a traditional DFIG with a partially rated back-to-back converter has inherent difficulties to ride through the grid faults, especially for the unbalanced grid faults. Modifications to the traditional DFIG configuration for ride-through have become nece...

Optimal Operation of Doubly-fed Induction Generator used in a Grid-Connected Wind Power System

In this paper, a wind power system based on a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is modeled and simulated. To guarantee high-performance control of the powers injected into the grid by the wind turbine, five intelligent super-twisting sliding mode controllers (STSMC) are used to eliminate the active power and current ripples of the DFIG. The STSMC controller is a high-order sliding mode cont...

A Novel Current Controller Scheme for Doubly Fed Induction Generators

This paper presents a novel current control methodology for grid connected doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind energy conversion systems. Controller is based on a proportional controller with additional first order low pass filter disturbance observer which estimates the parameter dependent nonlinear feed-forward terms. The results in simulations and experimental test bed obviously...
