Improvement and Analysis of Phase-Phase Failure of Double Feed Induction Generator Using Maximum Power Monitoring Method
Abstract
This study presents an analysis and control method for the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind energy production under the conditions of sudden grid voltage dips. The control aims are as follows: limiting the rotor currents, suppressing the fluctuations in the torque and suppressing the dc-link voltage fluctuation via the converter controls and ensuring maximum power point tracking. Rotor side converter (RSC) and grid side converter (GSC) structures have been given in the article and their limitations have been specified. Maximum power tracking control block has also been included in the system and its structure has been given. In this study; while RSC is controlled in a way that it will suppress the fluctuations in the torque and rotor currents, GSC is controlled in a way that it will suppress the fluctuations in dc-link voltage while taking the rotor power impact into consideration. Crowbar unit has been used in the rotor side to minimize these impacts. This unit is activated at the moment when a grid dip occurs and deactivates the RSC side. In this way, RSC side will not be affected by the high current fluctuations. The detailed results of the study were carried out in the MATLAB/Simulink environment,and the effectiveness of the proposed method was supported by the graphic results.
