This article deals with the analysis, modeling, and control of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) for wind turbines. The DFIG wind turbine can deliver more energy to the grid. There are some different methods to modify the DFIG system in order to accomplish the stator reactive power proposed. One of these methods is to modify the DFIG system for nominal voltage to evaluate cost and materials-efficiency consequences. A specific control strategy is implemented according to the vector control strategy. The proportional-integral (PI) regulators used are simple and precise controllers. This type of regulation, which is closed-loop rotor currents, allows adjustment of the sliding of the DFIG. This gives a good adjustment of the powers of the stator and the rotor. The percentage error of the simulation is less than 2 %. The results obtained in these investigations show that it is possible to adjust the powers of the stator, even with a variation of the parameters. The developed method will allow achieving the maximum efficiency of the wind energy conversion chain. The objective of this article is to optimize the quality of energy generated by wind turbines by controlling the reactive stator power and reducing the losses of the energy of the reactive stator power, which must be a physically minimal value. The results will be presented in the Matlab - Simulink environment.

Lift And Drag

The flow characteristics and the lift and drag behavior of a thick trailing-edged airfoil that was provided with fixed trailing-edge flaps (Gurney flaps) of 1–5% height right at the back of the airfoil were studied both experimentally and numerically at different low Reynolds numbers (Re) and angles of attack for possible applications in wind turbines suitable for the wind speeds of 4–6 m/s. The flap considerably improves the suction on the upper surface of the airfoil resulting in a higher lift coefficient. The drag coefficient also increased; however, the increase was less compared with the increase in the lift coefficient, resulting in a higher lift-to-drag ratio in the angles of attack of interest. The results show that trailing-edge flaps can improve the performance of blades designed for low wind speeds and can be directly applied to small wind turbines that are increasingly being used in remote places or in smaller countries.
