Performance improvement of a DPC-FPID strategy with matrix converter using CDFIG in wind power system

Abstract

This study focuses on optimizing energy extraction from Wind Power Generation Systems (WPGS) using a cascaded Doubly Fed Induction Generator (CDFIG) amidst variable wind speed operation. The aim of this study is to provide a new robust nonlinear control technique. The proposed method is founded on a fractional-order Proportional–Integral–Derivative controller (FPID). To well control the injection of both active and reactive power into the electrical grid and respond to the needs of consumers despite the changes in environmental conditions, a robust Direct Power Control (DPC) is employed with FPID (DPC-FPID) associated with Matrix Converter (MC). To extract the greatest aerodynamic power Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), is employed. We compare the suggested method’s outcomes with traditional PID results in order to confirm and validate the findings. It can be argued that the DPC-FPID method exhibits superior performance compared to the DPC-PI method. In terms of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the outcomes indicate that the proposed technique utilizing FPID (1.20%) outperforms the conventional technique relying on PID (1.87%). The DPC-FPID approach gives a reduction in ripple values in comparison to the DPC-PI strategy in terms of ratios for the torque (6.25%), active power (14.28%), and reactive power (14.705%).
