Research on Control Strategy of Grid-connected Brushless Doubly-fed Wind Power System Based on Virtual Synchronous Generator Control

Abstract

The brushless doubly-fed wind power system based on conventional power control strategies lacks ‘inertia’ and the ability to support grid, which leads to the decline of grid stability. Therefore, a control strategy of brushless doubly-fed reluctance generator (BDFRG) based on virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control is proposed to solve the problem in this paper. The output characteristics of BDFRG based on VSG are similar to a synchronous generator (SG), which can support the grid frequency and increase the system ‘inertia’. According to the mathematical model of BDFRG, the inner loop voltage source control of BDFRG is derived. In addition, the specific structure and parameter selection principle of outer loop VSG control are expounded. The voltage source control inner loop of BDFRG is combined with the VSG control outer loop to establish the overall architecture of BDFRG-VSG control strategy. Finally, the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed strategy are verified in the simulation.
