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...

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...

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...

This paper discuss the configuration, operation and power flow control strategies of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) with back-to-back PWM converter for variable speed wind turbines. The mathematical model of the DFIG is taken as appropriate d-q reference frame and their performances are in terms of stator currents references tracking. In order to control the power flow of the network, ...

In this work, a robust nonlinear control technique of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) intended for wind energy systems has been proposed. The principal idea in this article is to decouple the active and reactive power of the DFIG with high robustness using the backstepping strategy. The principle of this control method is based on the Lyapunov function, in order to guarantee the global ...

hydropower plant and especially micro-hydropower plant is an available, reliable and economical energy source. micro-hydropower plant is one of the most environment-friendly technology, use and development of which leads to reduction of energy consumption sporadically and worldwide. along with the growth of these power plants, the issues related to the control of electrical parameters such as l...

Doubly fed induction generators (DFIG) based wind turbine is an emerging technology, which becomes increasingly popular due to its various advantages over fixed speed generator systems. A DFIG based wind turbine has an ability to generate maximum power with varying and adjustable speed, ability to control active and reactive power by the integration of electronic power converters, low power rat...

A doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) designed to be driven at variable speed from a wind turbine and supplying an isolated load is presented. Two back-to-back PWM voltage-fed inverters connected between the stator and the rotor allow suband super-synchronous operation with low distortion currents. The load voltage is maintained at constant frequency and its magnitude is regulated through con...

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 power generation with non-renewable energy sources has very harmful effects on the environment as well as these sources are depleting. On the other side the renewable energy sources are quite unpredictable source of power. The best trade-off is to use the combination of both kind of sources to make a hybrid system so that their individual power generation constraints can be overcome. The hy...
