A novel predictive rotor current control scheme for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is implemented to perform the DFIG grid synchronization with a fast dynamic response. With this control strategy applied to an experimental setup, the rotor currents swiftly follow the necessary reference for grid synchronization in the range of ±30% of the generator rated shaft speed. The DFIG and converter discrete models are used to predict the behavior of the rotor currents. By minimizing the error between the references and the predictive rotor currents for each of the valid states of the converter, the best-suited switching state is selected and applied at the next sampling time. In order to validate the feasibility of implementing this approach, simulations and experiments were carried out for various shaft speed profiles.
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.
