Using a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), with an additional active or reactive damping controller, is a new method of suppressing the inter-area oscillation of a power system. However, using active power modulation (APM) may decrease the damping of the shaft oscillation mode of a DFIG and the system damping target cannot be achieved through reactive power modulation (RPM) in some cases. Either single APM or RPM does not consider system damping and torsional damping simultaneously. In this paper, an active-reactive coordinated dual-channel power modulation (DCPM) damping controller is proposed for DFIGs. First, considering the electromechanical parts and control structure of the wind turbine, an electromechanical transient model and an additional damping controller model of DFIGs are established. Then, the dynamic objective function for coordinating the parameters of the additional damping controller is proposed. The ratio between the active power channel and reactive power channel modulation is derived from the parameters optimized by the particle swarm optimization algorithm. Finally, the effectiveness and practicability of the designed strategy is verified by comparing it with a traditional, simple damping controller design strategy. Standard simulation system examples are used in the comparison. Results show that the DCPM is better at maximizing the damping control capability of the rotor-side controller of a DFIG and simultaneously minimizing adverse effects on torsional damping than the traditional strategy.

This paper proposes a grouped, reactive power optimization control strategy to maximize the active power output of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based on a large wind farm (WF). Optimization problems are formulated based on established grouped loss models and the reactive power limits of the wind turbines (WTs). The WTs in the WF are grouped to relieve computational burden. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is applied to optimize the distribution of reactive power among groups, and a proportional control strategy is used to distribute the reactive power requirements in each group. Furthermore, the proposed control strategy optimizes the reactive power distribution between the stator and the grid side converter (GSC) in each WT. The proposed control strategy greatly reduces the number of variables for optimization, and increases the calculation speed of the algorithm. Thus, the control strategy can not only increase the active power output of the WF but also enable the WF to track the reactive power dispatching instruction of the power grid. A simulation of the DFIG WF is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy at different wind speeds and reactive power references.

In this paper, the operating mode of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine is studied in order to evaluate its fault ride-through and transient stability with a grid’s short circuit fault at near the wind power plant. Based on the structure of DFIG, external resistors are directly connected to rotor windings, then the generator operates as a wound rotor induction generator (WRIG) when there is a short circuit fault on the grid. According to the simulation results in Matlab, the active power is consumed on the crowbar resistor, causing the active power characteristic of generator is changed from high to low. As a result, the amount of excess mechanical energy is not much, so the generator be not accelerated significantly. These simulation results show that it is appropriate to use the crowbar resistor to change the power characteristic of the DFIG. Thanks to this change, the generator is still connected to the grid, stable operation both during and after a short circuit.

This paper present steady state and dynamic (Transient) models of the doubly fed induction generator connected to grid. The steady state model of the DFIAG (Doubly Fed Asynchronous induction Generator) has been constructed by referring all the rotor quantities to stator side. With the help of MATLAB programming simulation results are obtained to depict the steady state response of electromechanical torque, rotor speed, stator and rotor currents, stator and rotor fluxes, active and reactive drawn and delivered by Doubly fed Asynchronous Induction machine (DFAIM) as it is operating in two modes i.e. generator and motor. The mathematical steady state and transient model of the DFIAM is constructed for three basic reference frames such as rotor, stator and synchronously revolving reference frame using first order deferential equations. The effect of unsaturated and saturated resultant flux on the mutual inductance is also taken into account to deeply understand the dynamic response of the machine. The steady state and dynamic response of the DFAIG are compared for different rotor voltage magnitudes. Also, the effect of variations in mechanical input torque, stator voltage variations are simulated to predict the stator and rotor currents, active and reactive power, electromagnetic torque and rotor speed variations.

This paper develops a voltage modulated direct power control (VM-DPC) strategy of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) using extended power theory under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. By introducing the modulated voltage of the active and reactive powers and the non-linear VM controller, the proposed VM-DPC strategy enables the generator dynamics to change from the time-varying differential equations into the time-invariant ones. Then, in order to deal with the voltage unbalance, three available power feedbacks, a combination of real active power and extended reactive power, a combination of extended active power and real reactive power, a combination of extended active power and extended reactive power, are developed. Together with a conventional controller (PI + R and feedforwards) and a non-linear VM controller, the power feedbacks are well controlled to track their references with the achievement of the constant active power, the constant reactive power and the balanced stator current. The main advantage of the VM-DPC strategy is the introduction of the modulated voltage and the non-linear VM controller making the generator dynamics time-invariant, which is easy for applying various control methods. Furthermore, the application of extended power can avoid the sequence extractions and the power compensations under unbalanced grid voltage. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed VM-DPC strategy.
