With the development of modern wind energy generation, higher requirements to the grid in case of a failure were raised. In order to faciliate the recovery of power, while voltage dips in a certain range, protecting the rotor side converter and providing reactive power to the grid are both needed according to the requirements. This paper takes DFIG for example, in order to protect the rotor side converter,...
Vector Control(VC) and Direct Power Control (DPC) of Doubly Fed Induction Generator(DFIG) is studied in this paper. Grid connection and steady state running for DFIG are discussed based on VC and DPC. Two kinds of control strategies of DFIG both have good performance during the cutting-in grid. This paper uses instantaneous reactive power theory of three-phase circuits to the DFIG control. DPC idle...
This paper presents the voltage build-up process and the terminal voltage control of a stand-alone self-excited induction generator (SEIG) using direct vector control (DVC) technique under variable speeds and different types of load. Here, the three-phase SEIG is excited by a pulse-width modulated voltage source inverter (PWM-VSI) connected to a single-capacitor on the DC side with a start-up battery...

This paper proposes a combined protection and control strategy to enhance the low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability of a wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). Since the conventional crowbar is activated to protect the rotor side converter during the fault interval, the DFIG will operate in the fix speed mode and absorb large amount of reactive power from the grid. This problem...

For doubly fed induction machines operating as wind generators (DFIG), the terminal voltage and the active power delivered to the grid are controlled by a PWM converter linked to the machine rotor. The monitoring of the direct and quadrature axis components of the rotor voltage makes possible the control of the terminal voltage and active power, respectively. Currently, this control is performed by...

In this paper, the authors propose a behaviour simulation of a micro power station system for electric power generation in isolated equatorial regions, e.g. Africa and South America. These remote areas have usually a good potential of hydroelectric relative to small community or activity need. They are characterized by sufficient rainfall, which leads to the steady average flow of the rivers. Despite...
Wind energy penetration to the power market has been continuously increasing over the past decades. High penetration level requires the wind energy generation to be more reliable. For wind farms equipped with doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs), a successful low voltage ride-through scheme has been a key issue to achieve reliable and uninterrupted wind energy generation. This paper proposes a...

The paper describes a method to control the rotor-side and grid side converters in a DFIG when subjected to the effects of network voltage unbalance conditions. In particular the control scheme of the grid side converter is adapted to assist in the control of the total power oscillations when the rotor side converter is controlling the DFIG torque pulsations. A DFIG model is implemented in Matlab/Simulink...

Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind farms are one of the major contributors to wind power generation. The capability of generating active power over an extended range of speed has made it attractive to maximize the power extraction from wind. This has also facilitated reduction of mechanical stress in the turbine. However recently it has been reported that achieving the maximum power...
Many wind turbine generators (WTGs) are installed in remote, rural areas, where the power grids are usually weak, characterized by unbalanced voltage conditions. If the voltage unbalance is not taken into account in the control system, it will cause poor power quality and poor operating performance of the WTG systems. This paper proposes a novel control scheme to improve the operating performance...
