Control of a wind energy conversion system based on brushless doubly fed induction generator

Abstract

This paper discusses the control a new topology of a brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG) using back-to-back PWM converters. The goal of BDFIG control is to achieve a similar dynamic performance to the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), The control strategy for flexible power flow control is developed. Currently the BDFIG has been the subject of current investigation and it shows to be a valid alternative for wind energy systems.
