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...

As one of the most promising Distributed Generation (DG) sources, wind power technology has been widely developed in recent years. Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is currently employed as one of the most common topologies for wind turbine generators (WTGs). This generator operates as a synchronous/asynchronous hybrid generators. Therefore, it is necessary to power engineers find understan...

This paper proposes the design of a Proportional Integral (PI) controller using Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) to control the speed of an Induction Motor (IM) fed from wind turbine. The wind turbine plays as a prime mover to a connected DC generator. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used to get three phase AC voltage from the output of DC generator. The proposed design problem of speed ...

This paper presents the modeling, rapid control prototyping, and hardware-in-the-loop testing for real-time simulation and control of a grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) in a laboratory-size wind turbine emulator for wind energy conversion systems. The generator is modeled using the direct-quadrature rotating reference frame circuit along with the aligned stator flux, and the...

Encountering series-compensated transmission lines, sub-synchronous resonance (SSR) may strike the power system by jeopardizing its stability and mechanical facilities. This paper aims to verify the capability of static synchronous series compensator (SSSC) in mitigating the mechanical and electrical oscillations such as SSR in wind farm integrations. A wind turbine with a self–excited inductio...

This paper presents system stability analysis of DFIG based wind energy conversion system. Presently for variable wind speed DFIG is considered as efficient machine to generate the power. In addition to this advanced AC/DC/AC converters with closed loop control system has been presented. For stability analysis 1.5MW wind turbine has been considered. As the speed of the wind varies by ± 18% to 2...

This paper presents Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller design of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Essential feature of proposed controller is that it is used to trace the maximum power when wind speed is lower than the rated wind speed. Doubly-Fed Induction Generator DFIG has stator terminals are connected directly to the grid. However, the rotor t...

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...
