Multivariable Prediction Control for Direct Vector Control of a DFIG-based Wind Turbine using a Fuzzy Space Vector Modulation Converter

Abstract

In this research paper, a multivariable prediction control method based on direct vector control is applied to command the active power and reactive power of a doubly-fed induction generator used into a wind turbine system. To obtain high energy performance, the space vector modulation inverter based on fuzzy logic technique (fuzzy space vector modulation) is used to reduce stator currents harmonics and active power and reactive power ripples. Also the direct vector control model of the doubly-fed induction generator is required to ensure a decoupled control. Then its classic proportional integral regulators are replaced by the multivariable prediction controller in order to adjust the active and reactive power. So, in this work, we implement a new method of control for the doubly-fed induction generator energy. This method is carried out for the first time by combining the MPC strategy with artificial intelligence represented by Fuzzy SVM-based converter in order to overcome the drawbacks of other controllers used in renewable energies. The given simulation results using Matlab software show a good performance of the used strategy, particularly with regard to the quality of the energy supplied.
