In this study, two novel control methods are theoretically introduced as direct slip angle control (DSAC) and model predictive direct slip angle control (MPDSAC) for rotor side converter (RSC) of the standalone Doubly‐Fed Induction Generator (DFIG)‐DC system (S‐DFIG‐DC). The numerical analysis of the proposed methods demonstrated that the proposed DSAC method could reduce torque ripple and current harmonics, decrease the output DC voltage drop in fast changes of load condition, and have faster dynamic response. Also, the MPDSAC method could further diminish torque and flux ripple, current harmonics, and output DC voltage drop in sharp changes of load condition compared with the presented DSAC and direct torque control (DTC) methods. The sensitivity analysis of the proposed control methods is investigated at different operating conditions. The performance and usefulness of the DSAC and MPDSAC schemes are verified by various experiments and compared with the conventional DTC method.
