Complex Power Control of Double Fed Induction Generator in a Wind Power System

Abstract

The combined operation of wind energy power into present electrical network is increasing very fast during current scenario. Ethiopia is one of these countries that use wind power as its renewable and complement power source of the country. The DFIG (Doubly-fed Induction Generator) is among the most commonly used generator in conversion of wind energy in present scenario. This paper emphasizes on complex power control. Simulation models have been developed using a versatile simulation tool Matlab-Simulink for a 1 MW Dual Fed Induction machine. The work presented in this paper uses a field flux control method or vector control methodology which moves synchronously frame of reference.
