This article presents the operation of DFIG Doubly fed induction generator and a component energy storage (ES) within micro grids (MG). The aim of this proposal is to control voltage and frequency of wind farm micro grid shared by the Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) through droop characteristics. This paper is mainly concerned with the operation of islanded micro grids. The proposed control methods are pretend by using Matlab/simulink.

<p>Amongst all renewable energy generation sources, wind power exhibits fastest growth rate. The increasing number of wind farm installations worldwide demand low maintenance, cost and failure rates with high efficiency. Determining the optimal drive train configuration amongst various configurations available for wind turbines is a challenge. In this paper commonly used, doubly fed induction generator with single stage gear box (GDFIG), doubly fed induction generator with multi stage gear box (DFIG) and the direct-drive permanent-magnet generator (DDPMG) are compared. Modelling of wind turbine with efficiency computations is presented. Considering common wind turbine parameters, performance of GDFIG, DFIG and DDPMG is compared through an experimental study. Considering a reference 5 MW variable speed wind turbine, efficiency of DDPMG is 96% when compared to 93.58%, 93.12% for DFIG and GDFIG. The experimental results presented prove that the DDPMG is a preferable solution considering low cost and high efficiency.</p>
