Abstract
This article proposes a proportional-integral-resonant (PIR) current control strategy for a wind-driven brushless doubly fed generator (WDBDFG) during network unbalance. Firstly, four control objectives of WDBDFG, including eliminating unbalanced currents of power winding (PW), pulsations of control winding (CW) currents, torque, and PW power, are discussed and different from current controls in which the references to PW currents were computed; the CW current references are derived here. Then, an improved CW current controller using a PIR controller is proposed to achieve different control objectives. In contrast with current controls, CW currents are not involved with sequence extraction in the proposed control and can be totally regulated only in a positive synchronous reference frame. Hence, the system control structure is greatly simplified, and dynamic characteristics are improved. Furthermore, in order to obtain completely decoupled control of current and average power, feedforward control, considering all the couplings and perturbances, is also applied in CW current loops. Simulation results for a 2 MW grid-connected WDBDFG show that the proposed control is capable of achieving four control objectives, including canceling CW current distortion, PW current unbalance, pulsations of PW active power or pulsations of reactive power, and machine torque. Its dynamic process is much more smoothly and quickly than that of current controls, and therefore the proposed control has better dynamic control characteristics during network unbalance.
