Approach Control of DFIG Rotor Side Converter Based on Grid Frequency Coordinated Control

Abstract

Abstract. This paper presents an approach frequency coordinated control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) applying in the Rotor Side Converter (RSC) using an order reference active power (Pref ). Pref is obtained from the frequency deviation, speed regulation and kinetic energy stored in the DIFG. The Pref is employed as a main controller parameter of the dq-axis currents in the RSC under two case studies. In case1 study, the Pref is used to regulate the q-axis reference current and the grid reactive power controlled d- axis reference current. Whilst in case2 study, the d- axis reference current is produced by Pref , and the rotormechanical speed responsible to generate the q-axis reference current. The modified vector control method is used to control the Grid Side Converter (GSC) in two case studies. The transient performance of two case studies is simulated by PSCAD/EMDTC program under constant, step and variable wind speeds. A comparative result between two case studies shown that the frequency coordinated control has an ability to control both rotor dq-axis currents, and it enhancing the system frequency as well as improved DFIG voltage stability.However, case2 study has a better response than case1 study during system operated under random wind speed.
