This paper proposes a nonlinear model predictive direct power control (PDPC) strategy for a double fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy generation system. Active and reactive power variations of DFIG are calculated based on machine rules, and a nonlinear model of DFIG is given. A nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) is presented based on the useful cost function and constraint that it results in more proximity between simulations and reality. The power and current ripples are reduced and the optimal rotor voltage is generated based on an objective function and the constraints. The rotor voltage vector is calculated in the synchronous reference frame and transferred into the rotor reference frame. Simulation results of a 2 MW DFIG system show good performance of the proposed method during variation of active and reactive powers, machine parameters, and wind speed. Also, the transient responses of active and reactive powers are within a few milliseconds.
