A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) applied to wind power generation driven by wind turbine is under study for low voltage ride-through application during system unbalance. Use of DFIG in wind turbine is widely spreading due to its control over DC voltage and active and reactive power. Conventional dq axis current control using voltage source converters for both the grid side and the rotor side of the DFIG are analyzed and simulated. An improved control and operation of DFIG system under unbalanced grid voltage conditions by coordinating the control of both the rotor side converter (RSC) and the grid side converter (GSC) is done in this thesis. Simulation and analysis of DFIG system with wind turbine using Fuzzy logic controller for RSC and GSC under unbalanced condition is presented in the positive synchronous reference frame. The common DC-link voltage is controlled by grid side converter and control of DFIG’s stator output active and reactive power is controlled by rotor side converter. The steady-state operation of the DFIG and its dynamic response to voltage sag resulting from a remote fault on the 120-kV system is shown in this thesis using controllers. Modeling of DFIG system under Fuzzy logic controller to control voltage and active-reactive powers is done using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

In this paper, the performance of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) -based Variable Speed Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) at Adama Wind Farm I (WTG), connected to a grid is studied. To study the performance of the WTG, both machine and grid side converters are modeled and analyzed very well. On the machine side, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for maximum energy extraction is done using the direct speed control (DSC) technique, which is linked with the optimal tip speed ratio for each wind speed value considered. On the grid side, dc-link voltage and reactive power flow to the grid are controlled. For this purpose, first, the simulation model of the system is prepared in MATLAB Simulink considering the dynamic mathematical model of the PMSG, and Wind Turbine Aerodynamic model using the user-defined function blocks. Then, the PI regulators designed for direct speed, torque (current) control, and dc-link voltage are employed in the model. Moreover, to study and analyze the behavior of the system in a variable speed operation, a wind speed starting from cut-in wind speed (3m/s) to the rated wind speed (11m/s) is applied in 4s. The simulation result of the existing system model shows that the actual values of performance variables correspond well with the analytical values of the system. In addition, the chosen control algorithms applied in the control system of the generator-side converter are hence verified.

<span lang="EN-US">The paper proposes a protection to dual stator generator, reluctance rotor, from asymmetrical fault. Which prevents the dual stator generator, reluctance rotor, from electrical sage through working process in order to avoid any interruption in the generator-grid connection. The procedure consummated with injecting suitable reactive power during the fault period. The proposed method that makes it possible for wind turbine application via dual stator winding generators (DSWRG) synchronous mod to stay connected to the grid during asymmetrical faults. It has been built according to trusted simulating mode considering all tested parameters according to experiment work. The expirment, consider the DC link side stability and care about the behavior and performance of machine side parameter. As well the machineability is evaluated to ride through asymmetrical fault by observing the secondary side current which has a big role in saving grid side converter. The control takes a response within 200 ms after fault trigger recognition. The generator ability of dynamically remaining connected stable and existing in the network, which is sustained a series voltage disturbance by injecting appropriate amount of reactive power. The main interest required in this paper is the capability of a machine to overcome the asymmetrical fault.</span>

Regulation of the terminal voltage of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion system (WECS) by modifying the control scheme of the grid side converter (GSC) is necessary compared to connecting alone flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) and active power filter devices from economic point of view. An assessment study of GSC control strategy based both of static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and shunt active power filter (SAPF) is introduced in this paper. STATCOM based AC voltage magnitude regulator and SAPF-based load calculations are controlled using space vector modulation (SVM) technique to maintain the terminal voltage of DFIG wind turbine constant when a grid disturbance happened. The system under study is modeled in MATLAB/Simulink environment. The simulation results under wind speed variation demonstrated that GSC-based STATCOM gives better results in regulation of the terminal voltage of DFIG compared to GSC-based SAPF and enhancement of the stability of this system.
