Feedforward transient compensation control for DFIG wind turbines during both balanced and unbalanced grid disturbances

Abstract:

A feedforward transient compensation (FFTC) control scheme with proportional-integral-resonant current regulators is proposed to enhance the low-voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) during both balanced and unbalanced grid faults. Compensation for the DFIG stator transient voltage is feedforward injected into both the inner current control loop and the outer power control loop. The FFTC current controller improves the transient rotor-current control capability and minimizes the DFIG control interruptions during both balanced and unbalanced grid faults. Without the need of sequence-component decomposition, the torque ripple is reduced by injecting 60-and 120-Hz rotor-current components during unbalanced stator voltage conditions. The proposed FFTC control introduces minimal additional complexity to a regular DFIG vector-control scheme and shows promising enhancements in the LVRT capability of DFIGs. Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed FFTC control scheme. © 1972-2012 IEEE.
