Abstract

The article seeks to improve the dynamic performance of a standalone doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) which driven by a wind turbine, with the help of an effective control approach. The superiority of the designed predictive controller can be confirmed through evaluating the performance of the DFIG under other control algorithm, which is the model predictive direct torque control (MPDTC), model predictive current control (MPCC) as classic types of control. Firstly, the operating principles of the two controllers are described in details. After that, a comprehensive comparison is performed among the dynamic performances of the designed MPDTC, MPCC techniques and the predictive control strategy, so we can easily present the merits and deficiencies of each control scheme to be able to easily select the most appropriate algorithm to be utilized with the DFIG. The comparison is carried out in terms of system simplicity, dynamic response, ripples’ content, number of performed commutations and total harmonic distortion (THD). The results of the comparison prove the effectiveness and validation of our proposed predictive controller; as it achieves the system simplicity, its dynamic response is faster than that of MPDTC and MPCC, it presents a lower content of ripples compared to MPDTC and MPCC. Moreover, it can minimize the computational burden, remarkably. Furthermore, the numerical results are showing a marked reduction in the THD with a percentage of 2.23 % compared to MPDTC and 1.8 % compared to MPCC. For these reasons, it can be said that the formulated controller is the most convenient to be used with the DFIG to achieve the best dynamic performance.

Abstract

This paper gives a look on producing energy using wind turbines and imposing robust Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique to operate around an optimal rotational speed. A mechanical speed control based on PI controller is presented in order to extract the maximum power and optimizing the conversion efficiency of wind's kinetic energy into electric energy. A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is utilized because it is preferable for applications in wind energy systems referring to the capability to regulate the output voltage and improve the stability of the grid. Its operational characteristics and the regulating procedures such as Indirect Vector Control (IVC) and other sophisticated strategies for instance the ANFIS controller enhance operating flexibility and optimum performance under diverse conditions. This has attributed the split to the improved ANFIS in that it includes the artificial neural networks besides the fuzzy logic since they improve on learning as well as parameter fine tuning. Some of them are working with a comparatively fewer number of data sets; and therefore, it can be useful in classification, modeling and control. This configuration enables to regulate the generator's magnetic flux, torque, and reactive power, adjusting to changes inside wind velocity and disruptions within the grid. The performance of the proposed MPPT-IIVC method is examined by way of simulations in Matlab/Simulink. The simulations concerned a dynamic model incorporating the wind turbine, the DFIG, and the electric grid. The results show that the proposed technique can incredibly enhance the wind energy, maintain precise regulation over speed, and effectively adjust and regulate grid voltage and frequency. The performance of the proposed ANFIS controller is compared with a PI controller and discovered that ANFIS enhances the robustness, precision, dynamic response, total harmonic distortion THD (%) of the injected current into the grid, the reference tracking ability and Overshoot (%).

Abstract

This study focuses on developing an effective control strategy to enhance the dynamics of a wind turbine grid-connected five-phase permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). To visualize the superior performance of the newly proposed controller, the generator's performance is evaluated with another traditional predictive control scheme: predictive torque control (PTC). However, the vector control principle is applied to the GSC converter. The PTC has limitations such as significant ripple, substantial load commutation, and the inclusion of a weighting element in its cost functions. The proposed predictive methodology aims to overcome limitations, uses a simple cost function, and doesn't require weighting elements to address concerns about stability errors. Comparing the proposed predictive voltage controller (PVC) to the PTC, the findings show that the suggested PVC has many benefits, including faster dynamic response, a simpler control structure, fewer ripples, reduced current harmonics, low computation burdens, and robustness, so the generated power affects system efficiency, leading to improved power quality and reduced switching losses, enhancing power converters efficiency and their switches lifespan, this fact is verified mathematically as the total harmonic distortion (THD) has reduced to 1.346% average percentage for the proposed controller. However, the THD of the PTC is 3.05%. In addition, the study examines the incorporation of pitch angle control (PAC) and maximum power point tracking (MPPT). These controls restrict the consumption of wind energy when the generator speed surpasses its rated speed and optimize the extraction of wind energy during periods of low wind availability. In summary, the proposed PVC-enhanced control system reveals superior performance in dynamic response, control simplicity, current quality, and computational efficiency compared to other methods.
