This paper addresses the grid-connected variable speed doubly-fed induction generator, and proposes a new decoupled control to replace the conventional decoupled active and reactive powers (P-Q) control. The proposed decoupled control is based on decoupling the stator active and reactive currents, in contrast with the conventional decoupled P-Q control, which is based on decoupling the stator active and reactive powers by forcing the stator d- or q-voltage to zero. The proposed decoupled control has all the advantages of the conventional decoupled P-Q control such as constant switching frequency and robustness against slip angle inaccuracy, and it has some additional advantages: The proposed control requires less machine parameters; for the controller design, it requires the stator-to-rotor turns ratio only; for the online calculation, it does not requires any machine parameter. The proposed decoupled control is more flexible and robust since the control is independent of the grid voltage orientation. It is robust against variation in the grid voltage amplitude. Several experiments are carried out using a 1.1 kW doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), and the results support the proposed decoupled control and demonstrate some of its advantages.

Summary

Introduction

Improving the efficiency of electric generation systems is the focus of a lot of attention and research. Better efficiency brings economic benefit and improves the return-on-investment. It means reducing CO2 emissions for fuel-fired generation systems such as diesel and natural gas engines. This paper addresses the grid-connected operation only, and it adopts the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) which is widely used in variable speed wind turbines due to its advantages such as smaller converter size, which is a fraction of the generator’s rating, complete control of active and reactive powers, etc. This paper addresses the grid-connected operation only, and it adopts the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) which is widely used in variable speed wind turbines due to its advantages such as smaller converter size, which is a fraction of the generator’s rating, complete control of active and reactive powers, etc. [8,9,10]
