This paper devises a design named brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG) with a fault ride-through enhancement that employs upgraded field-oriented control (FOC) scheme. The DFIG is most suitable for wind energy conversion system (WECS) because it has an amicable establishment, economical operation and promising characteristics. A WECS based on two BDFIGs connected electrically in parallel and mechanically in series, excited by a three-phase inverter and controlled as variable speed, is described. For enhancing power quality and power flow capability, static compensator (STATCOM) has been incorporated in the proposed configuration. The comparative analysis on performance has been carried out with the existing proportional-integral (PI) controller and self-tuning fuzzy logic controller (STFLC) for the proposed configuration under varying wind speed. In this paper, the fuzzy controller is designed to adapt PI parameters Kp and Ki, in order to reduce at least some inherent characteristics (overshoot, response time, etc.) of the error between the reference and system response. The digital simulation results claim that the FLC-based controller can offer an attractive and feasible control for the proposed WECS integrating two BDFIGs.

A fuzzy controller for improving Fault Ride-Through (FRT) capability of Variable Speed Wind Turbines (WTs) equipped with Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is presented. The controller is designed in order to compensate the voltage at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC) by regulating the reactive and active power generated by WTs. The performances of the controller are evaluated in some case studies considering a different number of wind farms in different locations. Simulations, carried out on a real 37-bus Italian weak distribution system, confirmed that the proposed controller can enhance the FRT capability in many cases.

In this study, a design methodology is introduced that blends the neural and fuzzy logic controllers in an intelligent way developing a new intelligent hybrid controller. In this design methodology, the fuzzy logic controller works in parallel with the neural controller and adjusting the output of the neural controller. The performance of our proposed controller is demonstrated on a motorized robot arm with disturbances. The simulation results shows that the new hybrid neural -fuzzy controller provides better system response in terms of transient and steady-state performance when compared to neural or fuzzy logic controller applications. The development and implementation of the proposed controller is done using the MATLAB/Simulink toolbox to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) model in a wind turbine system as a unit of the distributed generator. The wind turbine driven by doubly-fed induction machine is a part of the distributed generation which feeds ac power to the distribution network.  The system is modeled and simulated in the Matlab Simulink environment in such a way that it can be suited for modeling of all types of induction generator configurations. The model makes use of rotor reference frame using a dynamic vector approach for machine model. The fuzzy logic controller is applied to the rotor side converter for active power control and voltage regulation of wind turbine. Wind turbine and its control unit are described in details. All power system components and the fuzzy controller are simulated in Matlab Simulink software. For studying the performance of the controller, different abnormal conditions are applied even the worst case. Simulation results prove the excellent performance of the fuzzy controller unit as improving power quality and stability of the wind turbine.

Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is a better alternative to increased power demand. Modern grid regulations force DFIG to operate without losing synchronism during overvoltages called high voltage ride through (HVRT) during grid faults. Enhanced field oriented control technique (EFOC) was proposed in Rotor Side Control of DFIG converter to improve power flow transfer and to improve dynamic and transient stability. Further electromagnetic oscillations are damped, improved voltage mitigation and limit surge currents for sustained operation of DFIG during voltage swells. The proposed strategy has advantages such as improved reactive power control, better damping of electromagnetic torque oscillations, and improved continuity of voltage and current from stator and rotor to grid during disturbance. In EFOC technique, rotor flux reference changes its value from synchronous speed to zero during fault for injecting current at the rotor slip frequency. In this process, DC-Offset component of stator flux is controlled so that decomposition during overvoltage faults can be minimized. The offset decomposition of flux will be oscillatory in a conventional FOC, whereas in EFOC it is aimed to be quick damping. The system performance with overvoltage of 1.3 times, 1.62 times, and 2 times the rated voltage occurring is analyzed by using simulation studies.

Faults in electrical networks are among the key factors and sources of network disturbances. Control and automation strategies are among the key fault clearing techniques responsible for the safe operation of the system. Several researchers have revealed various constraints of control and automation strategies such as a slow dynamic response, the inability to switch the network on and off remotely, a high fault clearing time and loss minimization. For a system with wind energy technologies, if the power flow of a wind turbine is perturbed by a fault, the intermediate circuit voltage between the machine side converter and line side converter will rise to unacceptably high values due to the accumulation of energy in the DC link capacitor. To overcome the aforementioned issues, this paper used MATLAB simulations and experiments to analyze and validate the results. The results revealed that fault ride through capability with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) viewer software, Active Servo software and wind sim packages are more adaptable to the variations of voltage sag, voltage swell and wind speed and avoid loss of synchronism and improve power quality. Furthermore, for protection purposes, a DC chopper and a crowbar should be incorporated into the management of excess energy during faults and a ferrite device included for the reduction of the electromagnetic field.

The design and implementation of solar energy fed power electronic interface using SEPIC converter incorporating fuzzy logic controller for a DC motor has been attempted. The proposed scheme consists of a Photovoltaic (PV) array, a SEPIC DC-DC converter, a PIC microcontroller and a DC motor. The SEPIC converter has been fabricated using IGBT and associated circuit components. A PIC microcontroller has been programmed to automatically vary the duty cycle of the SEPIC converter with fuzzy logic controller depending upon the required speed of the motor. The Simulink model of the proposed scheme has been built using MATLAB/PSB. To test the satisfactory performance of the program written for PIC microcontroller, the program is loaded into the PROTEUS VSM simulator and the waveform of the gate pulses obtained from the simulator using MPLAB coding is studied. After confirming the satisfactory generation of the gate pulses by the simulator, the program is loaded into PIC microcontroller using PIC start plus and gate pulses generated is fed to the DC-DC converter for firing the IGBT. Experiments have been carried out on a 230V, 4.5A, 0.75 kW, 1500 rpm separately excited DC motor and the results are furnished for different load conditions. Various reference speeds have been set and the system automatically adjusts the actual speed of the DC motor close to the set speed. The PV array used in the system consists of the panels connected in series, each panel being rated for 18V and 5A. The comparison of experimental and simulation results show very close agreement between the two thus validating the proposed scheme.
