Comparison between Different DPC Methods Applied to DFIG Wind Turbines

Abstract

In this paper the direct power control methods of doubly fed induction generator in wind turbine applications are studied. In the methods under study, the proper voltage space vector of the rotor side converter is selected using a switching table which is derived from flux position and the difference between the measured and reference stator active and reactive powers. Various simulations are performed in Matlab/Simulink software on a DFIG system in order to investigate the dynamic performance and robustness of the proposed control methods against machine internal parameters variations.
