Real Time Emulation of Vector Control of DFIG in the Wind Solar Hybrid System

Abstract

Wind and solar energy are sustainable sources of energy for the future that do not harm the earth's ecology. Because of this, they are an intriguing proposition for hybrid systems. Due to its better power generating performance across a wide range of speeds and independent management of reactive and active power, Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) with Double Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) have become the most popular option for renewable energy applications. Grid side and rotor side power converters are two bidirectional converters that are coupled at the DC end. The Incremental Conductance (INC) method is used for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in a Solar Photo Voltaic System (SPVS) with a boost converter. The classic method of controlling double fed induction generator is the vector control model. It offers higher steady state performance. In this work, the wind solar hybrid system using DFIG equipped with vector control is implemented and analyzed in MATLAB and Typhoon HIL platform. The hardware set up using HIL is developed in the laboratory.
