Direct power control of doubly fed induction generator under distorted grid voltage

Abstract

This paper presents a direct power control (DPC) strategy for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind power generation system under distorted grid voltage. By analyzing the six times grid frequency power pulsation produced by the fifth and seventh grid voltage harmonic components, a novel DPC strategy with vector proportional integrated (VPI) regulator has been proposed to implement the smooth active and reactive power output of DFIG. The performance analysis of the proposed DPC strategy, including the steady and dynamic state performance, closed-loop operation stability, and rejection capability for the grid voltage distorted component and back EMF compensation item has been investigated. The availability of the proposed DPC strategy with a VPI regulator is verified by experiment results of DFIG system under harmonically distorted grid condition. © 1986-2012 IEEE.
