Abstract
Despite the advantages of three-level neutral point clamp (NPC) converters compared with standard voltage source inverters (VSIs), most of the direct power control (DPC) strategies for doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) reported in the literature, only utilise VSIs. As regards three-level NPC converter generates higher number of voltage vectors compared with standard VSIs, This paper presents a DPC strategy for DFIG using three-level NPC converters in which three-level NPC voltage vectors are employed to reduce large power ripples of conventional DPC. Therefore, a new optimised switching table is derived. Using this table, DFIG provides not only elaborate active and reactive powers which track their reference values very well, but also large power ripple is compensated. Also, because of ripple reduction, total harmonic distortion of rotor current, stator current, stator voltage and grid line-to-line voltage is reduced in proposed strategy compared with conventional DPC. Simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed method and have a reasonable correspondence with theoretical and mathematical analysis.
