The introduction of renewable energy sources into the AC grid can change and weaken the strength of the grid, which will in turn affect the stability and robustness of the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) wind farm. When integrated with weak grids, the DFIG wind turbine with vector power control often suffers from poor performance and robustness, while the DFIG wind turbine with synchronized control provides better stability. This paper investigates the critical short circuit ratios of DFIG wind turbine with vector power control and synchronized control, to analyze the stability boundary of the DFIG wind turbine. Frequency domain methods based on sensitivity and complementary sensitivity of transfer matrix are used to investigate the stability boundary conditions. The critical capacity of DFIG wind farm with conventional vector power control at a certain point of common coupling (PCC) is obtained and is further increased by employing synchronized control properly. The stability boundary is validated by electromagnetic transient simulation of an offshore wind farm connected to a real regional grid.

The paper presents a novel DC grid connection topology and control strategy for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind power generation system. In order to achieve the wind power conversion, the stator side converter and the rotor side converter is used to implement the DFIG control based on the indirect air-gap flux orientation, and a DC/DC converter is used for the DFIG system to DC grid connection. The maximum power point tracking and DC voltage droop control can also be implemented for the proposed DFIG system. Finally, a 4-terminal DFIG-based multi-terminal DC grid system is developed by Matlab to validate the availability of the proposed system and control strategy.

At present, the widely used wind power generators in the whole world are fixed speed induction generator (FSIG) and doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). The models of FSIG and DFIG wind power generation system connected with the grid are built, and their steady-state and transient characteristics are studied. A new coordinated control strategy using both the grid and rotor side converters of DFIG for voltage regultation and reactive power support is put forword to improve the steady-state and transient performance of the FSIG in the case of DFIG in parallel with FSIG.

The optimal design and characteristic analysis of Double Fed Induction Generator(DFIG) was performed. The purpose of the paper is to verify the accuracy of design and the reliability of DFIG by experiment. A grid connection experiment is performed to confirm generating performance in wide operating range. In this experiment, 2.7MW M/G set is used. The finite element method is applied to calculate parameters and characteristic analysis of DFIG. And in order to reduce design time and efforts, Design of Experiment(DOE) is used. The experimental results are compared with the optimum design results.

This paper analyzes the steady-state output characteristics of variable-speed wind turbine systems using doubly-fed induction generators(DFIG) compared with fixed-speed induction generator(FSIG) wind turbine systems. It also presents simulations of a grid-connected wind turbine generation system for dynamics analysis on MATLAB/Simulink and compares the responses between DFIG and FSIG wind turbine systems with respect to wind speed variation, impedance changes and X/R ratio changes of interconnecting circuits. Simulation results show the variation of generator's active output, terminal voltage and fault currents at the interconnecting point. Case studies demonstrate that DFIG wind turbine systems illustrate better performance to 3-phase fault than FSIG's.

Fixed speed wind turbine generators system that uses induction generator as a wind generator has the stability problem similar to a synchronous generator. On the other hand, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) has the flexibility to control its real and reactive powers independently while being operated in variable speed mode. This paper focuses on a scheme where IG is stabilized by using DFIG during grid fault. In that case, DFIG will be heavily stressed and a remedy should be found out to protect the frequency converter as well as to allow the independent control of real and reactive powers without loosing the synchronism. For that purpose, a crowbar protection switch or DC-link protecting device can be considered. This paper presents a comparative study between two protective schemes, a crowbar circuit connected across the rotor of the DFIG and a protective device connected in the DC-link circuit of the frequency converter. Simulation analysis by using PSCAD/EMTDC shows that both schemes could effectively protect the DFIG, but the latter scheme is superior to the former, because of less circuitry involved.

본 논문에서는 심플로러를 이용하여 실제와 가장 유사한 DFIG (Doubly-Fed Induction Generator)를 모사하였다. 이를 위해서 실재 바람과 유사한 속도 명령을 함수로 만들어 대체하였고 실제 전기기기의 파라미터 값을 입력하였다. 그동안 풍력발전에 있어서 발전기는 주로 Matlab 등을 이용해서 DFIG를 구현하였기에 실제와 다소 다르고 모의실험으로 대체하기 매우 어려웠지만 Simplorer를 이용하여 실제로 발전기를 설치하지 않고 풍력 데이터로부터 풍력발전의 전반적인 경제성을 파악할 수 있다.

The back to back PWM voltage-fed inverter connected between the rotor and grid network operated sub and super-synchronous operating mode, and the vector-controlled DFIG enables the decoupling between active and reactive power as well as between torque and power factor. This paper is validated by simulations and experimental results.

In this paper, an improved rotor speed estimation in DFIG wind turbine systems based on a cascaded SOGI is proposed. Due to excellent harmonics and DC offset rejection capability of the cascaded SOGI, the accurate rotor speed estimation can be achieved despite the harmonics and sensing offset in DFIG currents. The simulation results have verified the validity of proposed method.
