This paper presents a new direct active and reactive power control (DPC) of grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbine systems. The proposed DPC strategy employs a nonlinear sliding-mode control scheme to directly calculate the required rotor control voltage so as to eliminate the instantaneous errors of active and reactive powers without involving any synchronous coordinate transformations. Thus, no extra current control loops are required, thereby simplifying the system design and enhancing the transient performance. Constant converter switching frequency is achieved by using space vector modulation, which eases the designs of the power converter and the ac harmonic filter. Simulation results on a 2-MW grid-connected DFIG system are provided and compared with those of classic voltage-oriented vector control (VC) and conventional lookup table (LUT) DPC. The proposed DPC provides enhanced transient performance similar to the LUT DPC and keeps the steady-state harmonic spectra at the same level as the VC strategy.

This paper proposes an improved direct power control (DPC) strategy for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind power generation system under unbalanced grid voltage dips. The fundamental and double grid frequency power pulsations, which are produced by the transient unbalanced grid faults, are mathematically analyzed and accurately regulated. Five selectable control targets, with proper power references given, are designed for different applications during network unbalance. In order to provide enhanced control performance, two resonant controllers, which are tuned to have large gain at the power pulsation frequencies, are applied together with the proportional-integral controller to achieve full control of the DFIG output power. The effectiveness of the proposed DPC strategy is verified by the experimental results of a 5-kW DFIG system under different unbalanced voltage dips, which are generated by a specially designed voltage dip generator.Index Terms-Direct power control (DPC), doubly fed induction generator (DFIG), grid voltage unbalance, resonant controller, wind turbine.

Abstract-This paper proposes a coordinated direct power control (DPC) scheme for the rotor-side converter (RSC) and the grid-side converter (GSC) of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. In order to eliminate the coupling interactions between the phase locked loop (PLL) and the local unbalanced network, a virtual phase angle is used to replace the actual one acquired by the PLL. Thus, the PLL is removed out of RSC and GSC in the proposed DPC scheme. During network unbalance, the RSC is controlled to reduce torque ripples, while three selectable control targets are identified for the GSC, i.e., constant total active power, constant total reactive power and balanced currents. A single-side resonant controller with the frequency discrimination between the positive and negative sequence signals of the same frequency is employed in the coordinated DPC scheme to avoid the complex calculations of the power compensating components. Meanwhile, the sequential separations of the voltages and currents are also eliminated. Then, the control performance, including the limits of the dc-link voltage, the dc-capacitor power oscillations, the impacts of the frequency deviations and the grid synchronization of the proposed DPC strategy, are discussed. Finally, the experimental results of DFIG system verify the effectiveness of the proposed DPC strategy under unbalanced grid voltage conditions. Index Terms-coordinated direct power control, doubly fed induction generator, phase locked loop, single-side resonant controller, unbalanced grid voltage.

The open winding configuration with a common dc bus provides a zero sequence current loop which allows the zero sequence current flowing. With the application in permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) system, the existing zero sequence current is inevitably caused by the common mode voltage (CMV) generated by PWM techniques and the third back EMF by inherent flux harmonic component. With the mathematic modeling analysis, the zero sequence equivalent circuit based on the PMSG system is proposed. (000) and (111) for both converters are determined. Meanwhile, it gives the zero sequence component over-modulation analysis. Both the control method and improved PWM technique are implemented in a 1kW open winding PMSG experimental setup, and the experiment results are discussed. Meanwhile, a zero sequence current suppression controller is designed. In this paper, a zero vector redistribution (ZVR) PWM technique is proposed. With this technique, the dwell times of zero vectors
