This review paper examines the advancements and limitations of wind energy technology, while concentrating on the utilization of Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG) to capture maximum power in variable speed winds. The paper evaluates the efficacy of several control strategies for DFIG relying on WT (wind turbines), on the basis of their simulation results, key features, and control objectives. The paper highlights the potential areas for investigation to improvise the performance as well as efficiency of wind energy generation.
