The purpose of this study is to improve the control performance of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) by using both of the conventional Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based controllers. The rotor-side converter (RSC) voltages are controlled using a stator flux oriented control (FOC) to achieve an independent control of the active and reactive powers, exchanged between the stator of the DFIG and the power grid. Afterward, the PI controllers of the FOC are replaced with two ANN based controllers. A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control strategy is necessary in order to extract the maximum power from the of wind energy system. A simulation model was carried out in MATLAB environment under different scenarios. The obtained results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed ANN control strategy.
