Currently, variable speed wind systems based on the Brushless Doubly-Fed Induction Machine (BDFIM) are the most used in Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The main features of BDFIM are high reliability due to its brushless operating, lower capital and operational costs. This work presents a field-oriented control scheme for a BDFIG acting as a variable-speed generator. The presented vector control is determined on the power-winding stator-flux frame and can be employed to control both the speed and the reactive power. In addition, use of wind speed sensors by an anemometer, and maximize wind energy extraction Tip Speed Ratio (TSR) Maximum Power Point Tracker (MPPT) is proposed. Several simulation results under different operating conditions are provided to prove the effectiveness of the presented scheme. The obtained results show the efficiency and validity of the proposed control strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
