Implementation of direct power control based on stator flux estimation using low-pass filter estimator for doubly fed induction generator

Abstract

This article deals with the direct power control strategy applied for a grid-connected variable speed wind turbine based on doubly fed induction generator. The proposed method is based on a stator flux estimation algorithm which allows to control the rotor-side converter of the doubly fed induction generator. Several methods of stator flux estimation are based on the integration of the stator back electromotive force signal. However, in practice, the pure integration can cause various problems due to noises, stator resistance uncertainty, unknown initial conditions and measurement errors. Several algorithms, reported in the literature and used to estimate machine stator fluxes, are reviewed and compared. Particular attention is drawn to the low-pass filter–based algorithms that show good performances. In this article, the novelty of the proposed approach is the development of the direct power control–based stator flux estimation method with a low-pass filter. Theoretical analysis and implementation procedures of the proposed method are developed in detail. Simulation results of a variable speed wind turbine based on doubly fed induction generator are performed in MATLAB/Simulink software in order to evaluate the dynamic performances of the proposed control method under wind speed variations. The adopted control strategy is implemented using dSPACE 1104 board and tested for a wind turbine emulator. Experimental results show the effectiveness and the originality of the proposed control strategy.
