Reduced models of doubly fed induction generator system for wind turbine simulations

Abstract

This article compares three reduced models with a detailed model of a doubly fed induction generator system for wind turbine applications. The comparisons are based on simulations only. The main idea is to provide reduced generator models which are appropriate to simulate normal wind turbine operation in aeroelastic wind turbine models, e.g. for control system design or structural design of the wind turbine. The electrical behaviour such as grid influence will therefore not be considered. The work presented in this article shows that with an ideal, undisturbed grid the dynamics of the doubly fed induction generator system is very well represented by the dynamics due to the generator inertia and the generator control system, whereas the electromagnetic characteristics of the generator can be represented by the steady state relations. The parameters for the proposed models are derived from parameters typically available from the generator data sheet and from the controller settings. Thus the models are simple to apply in any case where the generator data sheet is available. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Model Parameters Identification Method for Wind Farms Based on Wide-Area Trajectory Sensitivities

“…The drive train connects the wind turbine with the shaft and gearbox, which is mathematically represented by a two-mass model [9]. The rotor shaft of the generator is connected to the turbine shaft flexibly via gearbox and coupling, and the so-called "two-mass model" is modeled as (1).…”

Enhancement of a reduced order doubly fed induction generator model for wind farm transient stability analyses

“…The effect of neglecting stator transients in the DFIG model has been discussed [9] under the cases of subsynchronous and supersynchronous speed, validating the use of the reduced order DFIG model from the transient stability point of view. The work presented in [10] compares three reduced order DFIG models and shows that the second order model can represent the system dynamics very well during normal operating conditions. While control schemes have been developed for rotor side and grid side converters of DFIG using a reduced order DFIG model [11], the study conducted [12] demonstrates that a four quadrant AC-AC converter connected to the rotor windings of the DFIG can increase the transient stability margin of the grid; therefore, the behavior of the DFIG is more robust in the event of critical faults.…”
