In this paper, a detail design and description of a predictive current control scheme are adopted for three-phase grid-connected two-level inverter and its application in wind energy conversion systems. Despite its advantages, the predictive current controller is very sensitive to parameter variations which could eventually affected on system stability. To solve this problem, an estimation technique proposed to identify the value of harmonic filter parameter based on Model reference adaptive system (MRAS). Lyapunov stability theory is selected to guarantee a robust adaptation and stable response over large system parameter variation. The simulation results shows the efficiency of the proposed techniques to improve the current tracking performance.

In the field of wind energy, the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is commonly used in variable speed wind energy conversion systems (WECS). This paper presents a review of various topologies, configurations, power converters and control schemes used with the operation of the DFIG. The operation of DFIG based on both slip ring and brushless arrangement has been discussed. The grid integration of DFIG and its influence on system stability, system reliability, power quality and power transmission is reviewed.

In the grid-connected inverter based on the deadbeat current control, the filter inductance variation and single update PWM affect the distortion of the grid current, stability, and dynamic of the system. For this, a double update PWM method for the deadbeat current controller in three-phase grid-connected system is proposed, which not only effectively decreases the grid current distortion and control delay, but also improves the system stability and dynamic response speed due to reducing the characteristic root equation order of the closed-loop transfer function. The influence of the filter inductance deviation coefficient on the system performance is analyzed. As a conclusion, the corresponding filter inductance deviation coefficient in the system critical stability increases with increase in the parasitic resistance of the filter inductance and line equivalent resistance and decreases with increase in the sampling frequency. Considering the system stability and dynamic response, the optimal range of the control parameters is acquired. Simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) are widely used in wind energy conversion systems. The dynamic features of DFIGs make it important to focus on designing high-performance control schemes. However, the dynamic characteristics of such generators depend on nonlinear parameters, such as stator flux, stator current, and rotor current, which increase the overall system complexity. In addition, the DFIG Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECSs) size is growing beyond 7 MW, which increases stress on both the mechanical drive train and the power circuits during connection to the grid. Such stress and dynamic features cannot be neglected. Therefore, robust controllers must be implemented which have the ability to support the dynamic frequencies of wind energy to ensure system stability in grid connection mode and during subsequent use. Conventional vector control configurations that use proportional-integral controllers have various drawbacks, such as parameter tuning difficulties, mediocre dynamic performance, and reduced robustness. In this study, we focused on improving DFIG synchronization to the grid by applying state feedback current controllers with a feedforward component to smooth the connection to the grid, as well as to improve the steady-state and transient characteristics of the controller. State feedback controllers are proposed to replace the proportional-integral controllers on both the rotor and grid sides. The proposed controller is designed using a multivariable system and feedforward control for input reference and incorporating disturbances into the control equations for fast synchronization and transient responses. To demonstrate the advantages of this controller, experimental studies are presented for both the transient and steady states.

An assessment of the stability and performance of current controllers with harmonic compensators is presented for an inductive-capacitive-inductive (LCL)-filtered grid-connected inverter under distorted weak grid conditions. By using two typical current control schemes which are the direct current controller with the capacitor current-based active damping and integral-resonant state feedback current controller, the closed-loop system stability and current control performance are investigated in the presence of both uncertain grid impedance and distorted grid. Even though the controller stability has been investigated under weak grid in several studies, the stability assessment of the entire current control scheme, including the harmonic resonant controllers, still needs a further comprehensive investigation. The system stability is analyzed by obtaining the movement of the closed-loop poles in the discrete-time domain when the grid impedance varies. To fully study the impact of distorted weak grid condition on the LCL filters, three LCL filter parameter sets giving the resonance frequency in different frequency bands are chosen for the purpose of evaluating the system robustness and grid-injected current quality. In order to support the presented theoretical analyses, comprehensive simulation and experimental results based on 32-bit DSP TMS320F28335 to control 2 kVA grid-connected inverter are presented in terms of grid current quality and control stability in the environment of both uncertain grid impedance and distorted grid.

Wind power capacity in the world has been increased by more than 30% over the last decade in countries which have prominent installations. Wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) based on the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) have dominated the wind power generation sector due to the outstanding advantages they provide, including small converter ratings (around 30% of the generator rating) and lower converter costs. Due to the non-linearity of wind power systems, the DFIG power control setup presents a big challenge especially under conditions of high variance in wind-speed and parameter sensing. To overcome these major problems, an improved IDPC (Indirect Power Control) system based on PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller, has been proposed instead of the conventional power inverters. This handbook covers information about IDPC based WECS. The book starts with a general introduction to wind power system basics. Subsequent chapters provide additional knowledge about robustness tests and adaptive / intelligent control systems employed in wind energy systems. The new concept of direct and quadrature current control (Ird & Irq) under MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) strategy is also explained along with novel fuzzy logic type control systems. The authors have included detailed diagrams and an appendix of WECS parameters, making this handbook a useful primer for engineering students working towards completing licenses, Masters degrees and Post-graduation programs in advanced wind power energy systems.
