Dramatic wind speed variations result in the fluctuations of output power in DFIG. This paper presents a pitch control to suppress DFIG Rotor-side active power fluctuations. Though pitch angle changes too quickly could result in generator power fluctuations, the pitch control adopts PID controller and an angle rate limiter to prevent rapid pitch angle changes. The pitch control strategy is simulated by Matlab simulation platform, and the results have shown the correctness and validity of the pitch control.

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.

As the number of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)- based wind-turbine systems continues to increase, wind turbines are required to provide Low Voltage Ride-Through (LVRT) capability, especially under the condition of grid voltage dips. This paper, depending on the operating characteristics of doubly-fed induction generator during grid faults ,deals with a protection and control strategy on rotor-side converter (RSC) to enhance the low voltage ride through capability of a wind turbine driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The simulation and experiment studies demonstrate the correctness of the developed model and the effectiveness of the control strategy for DFIG-based wind-turbine systems under such adverse grid conditions.
