An analytic electromagnetic calculation method for performance evolution of doubly fed induction generators for wind turbines

An analytic electromagnetic calculation method for doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) in wind turbine system was presented. Based on the operation principles, steady state equivalent circuit and basic equations of DFIG, the modeling for electromagnetic calculation of DFIG was proposed. The electromagnetic calculation of DFIG was divided into three steps: the magnetic flux calculation, parameters derivation and performance checks. For each step, the detailed numeric calculation formulas were all derived. Combining the calculation formulas, the whole electromagnetic calculation procedure was established, which consisted of three iterative calculation loops, including magnetic saturation coefficient, electromotive force and total output power. All of the electromagnetic and performance data of DIFG can be calculated conveniently by the established calculation procedure, which can be used to evaluate the new designed machine. A 1.5 MW DFIG designed by the proposed procedure was built, for which the whole type tests including no-load test, load test and temperature rising test were carried out. The test results have shown that the DFIG satisfies technical requirements and the test data fit well with the calculation results which prove the correctness of the presented calculation method.

Control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator under Unbalanced Voltages for Reduction of Torque Pulsation

The unbalanced voltages cause negative effects on the doubly fed induction generator （DFIG） sucn as torque pulsation,and increased stator current. Based on the symmetrical component theory, the torque pulsation is the consequence of the interaction of stator and rotor currents of different sequences. This paper presents a control technique to reduce the effect of unbalanced voltages on the DFIG in wind energy conversion systems. The negative sequence stator voltage is derived from the unbalanced three phase stator voltages. The compensated rotor voltage in terms of the derived negative sequence stator voltage and slip which minimizes the negative stator and rotor currents is proposed. The results from the simulation of control system with steady state model and dynamic model of the DFIG show that additional control loop with compensated voltage can significantly reduce torque and reactive power pulsations.

Dynamic Couplingand Cooperative Control for Multi-paralleled Doubly Fed Induction Generator Wind Farms during Symmetrical Low Voltage Ride-through in a Weak Grid

In multi-fed grid-connected systems,there are complex dynamic interactions between different pieces of equipment.Particularly in situations of weak-grid faults,the dynamic coupling between equipment becomes more pronounced.This may cause the system to experience small-signal instability during the fault steady-state.In this paper,multi-paralleled doubly fed induction generator(DFIG)-based wind farms(WFs)are taken as an example to study the dynamic coupling within a multi-fed system during fault steady-state of symmetrical low voltage ride-through(LVRT)in a weak grid.The analysis reveals that the dynamic coupling between WFs will introduce a damping shift to each WF.This inevitably affects the system’s dynamic stability and brings the risk of small-signal instability during fault steady-state in LVRT scenarios.Increasing the distance to fault location and fault severity will exacerbate the dynamic coupling between WFs.Because of the dynamic coupling,adjusting the control state of one WF will affect the stability of the remaining WFs in the system.Hence,a cooperative control strategy for multi-paralleled DFIG WFs is proposed to improve dynamic stability during LVRT.The analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy are verified by modal analysis and simu-lation.

Doubly-fed induction generator drive based WECS using fuzzy logic controller

The purpose of this paper is to improve the control performance of the variable speed, constant frequency doubly-fed induction generator in the wind turbine generation system by using fuzzy logic controllers. The control of the rotor-side converter is realized by stator flux oriented control, whereas the control of the grid-side converter is performed by a control strategy based on grid voltage orientation to maintain the DC-link voltage stability. An intelligent fuzzy inference system is proposed as an alternative of the conventional proportional and integral （PI） controller to overcome any disturbance, such as fast wind speed variation, short grid voltage fault, parameter variations and so on. Five fuzzy logic controllers are used in the rotor side converter （RSC） for maximum power point tracking （MPPT） algorithm, active and reactive power control loops, and another two fuzzy logic controllers for direct and quadratic rotor currents components control loops. The performances have been tested on 1.5 MW doubly-fed induction generator （DFIG） in a Matlab/Simulink software environment.

Application of fuzzy logic control algorithm as stator power controller of a grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator

This paper discusses the power outputs control of a grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator （DFIG） for a wind power generation systems.

So, to supply commercially the electrical power to the grid without any problems related to power quality, the active and reactive powers （Ps, Qs） at the stator side of the DFIG are strictly controlled at a required level, which, in this paper, is realized with an optimized fuzzy logic controller based on the grid flux oriented control, which gives an optimal operation of the DFIG in sub-synchronous region, and the control of the stator power flow with the possibility of keeping stator power factor at a unity.

Phase–amplitude model for doubly fed induction generators

The doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) is major type of wind turbine generator used in grid-connected wind farms. Practical models of DFIG have been built to study the influence of wind power generation on power system dynamics. However, most existing practical models of the DFIG are based on rectangular coordinates,in which frequency variation is neglected. In this paper, a phase-amplitude(P-A) model is proposed for a DFIG based on phase and amplitude of the internal voltage. The model structure is much like that of the synchronous generator, and the rotor voltage can manipulate both the amplitude and the phase of the internal voltage.Comparisons have been made between the new P-A model of the DFIG and the synchronous generator model,as well as the asynchronous motor model.The contributions of the new P-A model of the DFIG are discussed and it is demonstrated that the proposed model has better ability in describing power system dynamic phenomena such as voltage dynamics and structural dynamics. Simulation results and a field test validate these contributions.

Robust control based on the Lyapunov theory of a grid-connected doubly fed induction generator

This paper discusses the robust control of a grid-connected doubly-fed induction generator （DFIG） controlled by vector control using a nonlinear feedback linearization strategy in order to ameliorate the performances of the control and to govern the developed stator active and reactive power in a linear and decoupled manner, in which an optimal operation of the DFIG in subsynchronous operation is given, as well as the control stator power flow with the possibility of keeping stator power factor at a unity. The use of the state-all-flux induction machine model gives place to a simpler control model. So, to achieve this objective, the Lyapunov approach is used associated with a sliding mode control to guarantee the global asymptotical stability and the robustness of the parametric variations.

改进的DFIG与VSC-HVDC协调控制改善风电场低电压穿越能力

经VSC-HVDC并网风电系统在风电场侧故障时,风电机组出口母线电压过低,极易引起风力机脱网。而双馈风力发电机(DFIG)传统的Crowbar技术在故障时将转子侧变流器(RSC)短接,使发电机定子侧失去了为电网提供无功的能力,风力机的低电压穿越能力较低。提出一种改进的DFIG模型,加入了主动式DC-Chopper,与传统的Crowbar相配合,降低Crowbar动作的概率,使得DFIG转子侧变流器可以控制定子侧在故障时期继续提供无功功率。并利用此改进的DFIG与VSC-HVDC协调控制,改善风电场侧母线电压水平。通过算例仿真表明,在严重故障时采用改进式DFIG的Crowbar仍未动作。从而大大降低Crowbar动作的概率,双馈风电机组RSC故障期间可以继续投入运行并为电网提供无功支持。完成故障期间DFIG两侧变流器与VSC-HVDC风电场侧变流器(WFVSC)之间的无功协调,使风电场具有更好的低电压穿越能力(Low Voltage Ride Though,LVRT)。

基于量测信号扰动的DFIG变流器控制参数辨识方法

双馈感应发电机(DFIG)的变流控制器模型是整个机组模型中的关键部分。变流控制器的参数众多且内外环比例—积分(PI)控制器之间存在级联,常规辨识方法或遇到参数可辨识性问题,或工程实现难度较大。文中提出一种以"分步辨识、交互迭代"为特点,基于二次侧量测信号扰动的控制器参数辨识方法。该方法分别在变流控制器中各PI控制器输入端所用的量测信号上施加扰动,从而突出某个PI控制器在特定量测信号扰动下的作用,并将该PI控制器的可测量控制目标作为观测变量,进而重点辨识其参数。对于存在级联的两个PI控制器,先对后一级PI控制器所用量测信号施加扰动,同时屏蔽前一级PI控制器所用量测信号的变化,从而可实现两个级联PI控制器参数的解耦辨识。该方法可以使变流控制器中每个PI控制器的两个参数在特定的量测信号扰动下被单独辨识,有效保证了参数的可辨识性;而对于全部待辨识参数,可通过多轮交互迭代辨识进一步提高整体辨识精度。
