Abstract

The increasing deployment of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy systems (WESs) requires effective voltage regulation and power-quality enhancement under varying operating conditions. This paper proposes a coordinated voltage regulation and load-compensation technique using a rotor-side converter (RSCR) and a stator-side series converter (SSSCR). The RSCR provides two-directional slip-power control through cascaded voltage and current control loops, while the SSSCR provides series voltage injection for voltage regulation and load compensation. The proposed system is developed in MATLAB/Simulink and validated using an OPAL-RT OP4512 real-time platform under variable wind speed, unbalanced and non-linear loading, and voltage sag/swell conditions. Quantitative results show reductions in overall current total harmonic distortion (THD) of 25.34% and 36.78% under non-linear and unbalanced load conditions, respectively. The voltage regulation error is reduced from 9% to 3%, while the settling time decreases from 0.24 s to 0.12 s under non-linear loading. The proposed configuration also reduces the voltage overshoot from 2.61% to 0.02% during speed transition. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the coordinated RSCR-SSSCR configuration for simultaneous voltage regulation and load compensation.

Abstract

Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based variable-speed wind energy harvesting systems (WEHS) are widely employed owing to high efficiency and reliable grid integration under variable wind conditions. This paper presents a comprehensive review of conventional, intelligent, and hybrid control strategies for DFIG-based WEHS. Unlike previous studies that primarily focus on specific control techniques, this study systematically compares different approaches based on key performance indicators-dynamic response, total harmonic distortion (THD), robustness, and fault ride-through (FRT) capability. Conventional controllers such as proportional–integral (PI) control, field-oriented control (FOC), and direct torque control (DTC) are evaluated alongside intelligent techniques, including fuzzy logic control (FLC), artificial neural networks (ANNs), adaptive control, and optimization techniques. The comparison shows that intelligent and hybrid control strategies achieve superior dynamic response, lower THD, enhanced robustness, and improved FRT capability, although they require higher computational resources. Furthermore, this review highlights critical research challenges, including the lack of experimental validation, the absence of standardized benchmarking frameworks, and the complexity of real-time implementation in high-power WEHS. Finally, future research should focus on developing hybrid intelligent controllers, establishing evaluation methodologies, and integrating advanced control strategies with smart grid technologies to improve power quality, voltage regulation, and reliability of modern wind energy systems.
