An Improved Strategy of Grid-Forming DFIG Based on Disturbance Rejection Stator Flux Control

Abstract

Grid-forming (GFM) control are promising for doubly fed induction generator-based wind turbines (DFIG -Based WTs) due to its grid-support ability and stable operation when connected to weak grid. However, GFM-DFIG might suffer from instability under symmetrical grid fault, if its electromagnetic and synchronous dynamics are poor. Therefore, an improved strategy of GFM-DFIG based on disturbance rejection stator flux control (DRSFC) is proposed in this paper. The DRSFC consists of a PI-based rotor-current loop and an active disturbance rejection control (ADRC)-based stator-flux outer loop, and both the better electromagnetic performance and the steady-state voltage source operation are achieved. Besides, impacts of DRSFC on GFM-DFIG are exposed via small-signal and large-signal analysis, and the potential inertia in the inner control loops is revealed. It is suggested that this potential inertia is reshaped by DRSFC, so the impact of inner control loop on the synchronization of GFM-DFIG can be quantitatively studied and controlled. On this basis, a pair of asymmetrical compensation are designed to improve its electromagnetic decay and synchronous dynamic. Finally, experiments are carried out to verify the effectiveness of proposed strategy.
