Improving power quality is a major challenge in grid-connected wind energy systems, especially under mixed linear and nonlinear load conditions. This paper proposes an enhanced control strategy for harmonic current mitigation in a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine. The proposed approach integrates flux-oriented vector control with an active harmonic compensation algorithm implemented through the rotor-side converter (RSC). Unlike conventional methods that target only specific harmonic orders, the proposed strategy mitigates all current harmonics at the point of common coupling (PCC). Simulation studies conducted under various load conditions demonstrate that the method significantly reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) and ensures near-sinusoidal stator currents. The results confirm the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control approach in improving the power quality of DFIG-based wind energy conversion systems.
