In this paper, torsional vibrations in a five-mass drivetrain of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based and a permanent magnet generator (PMG)-based wind turbine are investigated through simulations. The simulated model includes aerodynamics of a 750kW wind turbine, as well as the dynamics of the generator, gearbox, and back-to-back power converters. In this study, the effectiveness of a sliding mode based control scheme to damp the drivetrain torsional vibrations for the events of a voltage dip occurring on the power grid and a wind speed variation is presented. The simulation results demonstrate mechanical disturbances have similar impacts on the drivetrain of DFIG-based and PMG-based wind turbines. However, the back-to-back converters in a PMG-based wind turbine effectively isolate the effects of power oscillations on the drivetrain.

Unbalanced input voltages would make doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine operating performance deteriorate, such as shaft tremble, temperature increasing, and so on, even make it cut out of the power grid. Meanwhile, without proper control the power ripples generated from wind turbines may further aggravate power grid. Considering the unbalanced conditions, DFIG was modeled in dual synchronous reference frame (SRF), namely the positive one and the negative one, based on which the dual PI current controllers were designed. To implement the dual current control, the sensing variables were divided into positive and negative sequence components, which were controlled in positive and negative SRF respectively. At the same time, to synchronize with the positive and negative sequence voltage components, a phase latch loop (PLL) control was designed. Experimental results on 11kW DFIG wind turbine test bed validated the designed control system.

This work presents a new control strategy for counter-rotating wind turbine (CRWT) driven doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) under grid disturbances, such as unbalanced network voltage scenarios. The proposed strategy based on the power control used dynamic gains second order sliding mode control (SOSMC). The power control of a DFIG by SOSMC widely based on the super-twisting (ST) algorithm with invariable parameters and sign functions. The proposed control method consists in using dynamic-parameters ST algorithm that ensures a better result than a conventional strategy. The proposed control scheme used 2 sliding surfaces such as reactive and active powers to control them. Also, the sign functions are replaced by saturation (sat) functions in order to minimize the chattering problems. Simulation results depicted in this research article have confirmed the good usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed adaptive super-twisting algorithm of the CRWT system during grid disturbances.
