In recent times, various types of wind generators have been linked to the power grids globally and the focus has been to control them to be more efficient and reliable. This study concisely discusses performance analysis, modeling, and assessment of different wind generators (permanent magnet synchronous generator, doubly-fed induction generator, squirrel cage induction generator), covering their benefits, drawbacks, and impact on the electric power systems. This comparison aims to guarantee that their technical and economic evaluations are comparable, allowing engineers to make a more informed decision about which generator is best suitable for their installation. Findings for the investigated wind generators lead to significant observations about their application fields, such as permanent magnet synchronous generator outperforms doubly-fed induction generator and squirrel cage induction generator, especially during grid disruptions; on the other hand, squirrel cage induction generator is simple and inexpensive.

Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine has become a mainstream machine of wind generators in China. As the different operational characteristics between the DFIG and synchronous generator (SG), the large amount of DFIG-based wind generators installed in the grid may bring a series of impacts on the dynamic behaviors of power system. In order to study the DFIG transient characteristics on the condition of the voltage dips happening in the power system, a definition of the DFIG power angle is given and the effects of the converters on the DFIG power angle are discussed. On this basis, the transient angle characteristic of the DFIG is derived. The DFIG transient characteristics are performed by Matlab/Simulink software, the simulation results demonstrate that the DFIG has the resemble power angle characteristic of SG and prove the effectiveness of the derivation process, which lay a foundation for the study on the interactions between the DFIG and power system.


In this paper, we are first going to present two different renewable energy systems based on wind and photovoltaic energy in order to provide an industrial site with electrical power. This study will continue with the sizing of these systems and the assessment of their performances through a technical and economic comparison. The results show that wind energy have a low impact and a reasonable economic cost. In the second part of this paper, we are going to focus on the modelling of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) used in wind systems in order to compare its performances to a squirrel cage generator (SCG). Final part has been attempted to presents the comparative study of Proportional Integral (PI), Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and fuzzy controllers. The simulations of the operation of the different generators are done with MATLAB/SIMULINK and our results are presented and analysed at the end of this work

The main purpose of this paper is to enhance the operation of renewable wind energy conversion (WEC) systems connected to power systems. To achieve this, we consider a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control approach for regulating the effects of a WEC system with doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) on the synchronous generator (SG) rotor speed of the interconnected power system. First, we present the mathematical formulation of the interconnected power system comprises a single synchronous generator and a wind turbine with DFIG connected to an infinite bus bar system through a transmission line. We consider that the system is operated under various loading conditions and parameters variation. Second, a frequency damping oscillation observer is designed via Kalman filtering together with an optimal linear quadratic regulator to mitigate the impacts of the WEC system on the SG rotor speed. The performance of the developed interconnected power system is simulated using a MATLAB/SIMULINK environment to verify the effectiveness of the developed controller. In comparison with previously reported results, the proposed approach can stabilize the interconnected power system within 1.28 s compared to 1.3 s without the DFIG.

A new topology was recently developed to drive generators, aiming to avoid power electronic devices directly connected to the grid, and making possible the hybridization of the wind power with other sources. The system is composed by an induction machine with rotor in squirrel cage, and a rotating armature endowed with a three-phase winding that may be fed by a secondary source. The previous purpose was to convert a variable velocity imposed by the wind turbine to the armature in a constant velocity to be developed by the cage rotor, driving a shaft of synchronous generator. This article proposes the use of an induction generator instead of a synchronous one in order to explore the maximum available wind energy (MPPT). The simulation results show that the proposed topology is viable and supports both variations in wind speed and disturbances in power grid.
