This paper deals with the fault ride-through capability assessment of a doubly fed induction generator-based wind turbine using a high-order sliding mode control. Indeed, it has been recently suggested that sliding mode control is a solution of choice to the fault ride-through problem. In this context, this paper proposes a second-order sliding mode as an improved solution that handle the class...

Wind energy is often installed in rural, remote areas characterized by weak, unbalanced power transmission grids. In induction wind generators, unbalanced three phase stator voltages cause a number of problems, including overheating and stress on the mechanical components from torque pulsations. Therefore, beyond a certain amount of unbalance (for example 6%), induction wind generators are swit...

This paper presents a control method, which reduces the pulsating torque and DC voltage problems of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine system. To reduce the torque and power ripple, a current control scheme consisting of a proportional integral (PI) controller is presented in a positive synchronously rotating reference frame, which is capable of providing precise current...

In this paper, we present a new contribution for the control of Wind-turbine energy systems, a nonlinear robust control of active and reactive power by the use of the Adaptative Backstepping approach based in double-fed asynchronous generator (DFIG-Generator). Initially, a control strategy of the MPPT for extraction of maximum power of the turbine generator is presented. Thereafter, a new contr...

Abstract: This paper deals with power control of a grid connected variable speed wind turbine system, based on doubly fed induction generator. In this paper we propose a novel control scheme of the rotor side converter, that is based on indirect control of power consist currents and powers control loops. The two loops of rotor currents: direct and quadrature component are controlled by the tech...

This paper describes fuzzy logic control of induction generator speed in wind turbine application. The aim of fuzzy controller is to establishe maximum power delivery to the grid from available wind power. Fully-controlled wind turbine which consists of induction generator and back-to-back converter is under estimate. This configuration has full control over the electrical torque, full control ...

This paper deals with the development of a neuro-fuzzy controller for a wind-diesel system composed of a stall regulated wind turbine with an induction generator connected to an ac busbar in parallel with a diesel-generator set having a synchronous generator. A gasifier is capable of converting tons of wood chips per day into a gaseous fuel that is fed into a diesel engine. The controller input...

Wind Energy Conversion Systems are the most striking renewable energy resources available to generate the electricity. Doubly-fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind turbine with variable speed is the most common wind turbine in the growing wind market. In any WECS, power flow must be maintained at all instant irrespective of any fault in the system. This paper deals with fault tolerant contr...

The Output power of wind turbine is determined by wind speed. The Output power can be adjusted by controlling the generator speed and pitch angle of wind turbine. When the wind speed below the wind turbine rated, the output power of generator can be maximized by controlling the generator speed at point of maximum power coefficient. When the wind speed above the wind turbine rated, output power ...
