The wind is the main driving force of wind turbine, which directly affects the dynamic responses of generator. Due to its randomness and intermittence, wind energy has great impact on the quality and security of the operation of power system. The aim of this paper is to study the influence of wind speed fluctuation on the dynamic responses of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) connected to a power system. The mathematical models of a 3.6 MW DFIG and different wind speed patterns are first derived. The MATLAB/Simulink software is then utilized to model the DFIG, grid-side converter, rotor-side converter, and the wind speed patterns. Simulation results obtained from these models are used to analyze the effects of wind speed fluctuation on the system dynamic responses.

Doubly-fed induction generator wind turbines are largely developed due to their variable speed feature. The response of wind turbines to grid disturbance is an important issue, especially since the rated power of the wind turbine is increased; therefore, it is important to study the effect of grid disturbances on the wind turbine. In the chapter, the characteristics of the doubly-fed induction generator during wind speed fluctuation are studied. MATLAB/Simulink software has been used to observe the characteristics of wind turbines during wind speed fluctuation. Simulation results of the doubly-fed induction generator wind turbine system show improved system stability during wind speed variation. Power electronics converters used in the DFIG system are the most sensitive parts of the variable speed wind turbines with regards to system disturbances. To protect from excessive current, the DFIG system is equipped with an over-current and DC voltage overload protection system that trips the system under abnormal conditions.


Automatic Generation Control of two area multi unit interconnected thermal power system with dynamic participation of Doubly Fed Induction Generator based on the wind turbines. In this work two areas consisting of three unequal turbines both areas are connected to the DFIG based wind turbine. Area 1 consisting of three reheat turbines with Doubly Fed Induction Generator based on wind turbine and area2 consisting of three non reheat turbines with Doubly Fed Induction Generator based on wind turbine and two areas interconnected by tie line. Two different controllers are used, namely PID and cascaded PD-PI controllers. The controllers effectively tuned by hybridization algorithm. 1% step load disturbance is applied in area 1 for analyzing the dynamic performance. The performance of two area multi-unit power system is done in MATLAB/SIMILINK software. The dynamic response of the considered system is compared in terms of undershoots, overshoot and settling times

A large-scale power system breakdown in the United Kingdom caused blackouts in several important cities, losing about 3.2 percent of the load and affecting nearly 1 million power users on 9 August 2019. On the basis of the accident investigation report provided by the UK National Grid, the specific reasons for the sub-synchronous oscillation of Hornsea wind farm were analyzed. The Hornsea wind power system model was established by MATLAB simulation software to reproduce the accident. To solve this problem, based on the positive and negative sequence decomposition, the control strategy of grid-side converter of doubly-fed induction generator is improved to control the positive sequence voltage of the generator terminal, which can quickly recover the voltage by compensating the reactive power at the grid side. Consequently, the influence of the fault is weakened on the Hornsea wind farm system, and the sub-synchronous oscillation of the system is suppressed. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy in suppressing the sub-synchronous oscillation of weak AC wind power system after being applied to doubly-fed induction generator, which serves as a reference for studying similar problems of offshore wind power.

Due to increasing demand in power, the integration of renewable sources like wind generation into power system is gaining much importance nowadays. The heavy penetration of wind power into the power system leads to many integration issues mainly due to the intermittent nature of the wind and the desirability for variable speed operation of the generators. As the wind power generation depends on the wind speed, its integration into the grid has noticeable influence on the system stability and becomes an important issue especially when a fault occurs on the grid. The protective disconnection of a large amount of wind power during a fault will be an unacceptable consequence and threatens the power system stability. With the increasing use of wind turbines employing Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology, it becomes a necessity to investigate their behavior during grid faults and support them with fault ride through capability. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of a doubly fed induction generator according to grid code compatibility driven by a wind turbine connected to the grid. This paper analyses the voltage sag due to a three-phase fault in the wind connected grid. A control strategy including a crowbar circuit has been developed in MATLAB/SIMULINK to bypass the rotor over currents during grid fault to enhance the fault ride through capability and to maintain system stability. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies in DFIG based grid connected wind turbine system.
