The correct management of power exchange between the doubly-Fed induction generator (DFIG) and the grid depends on the effective optimal operation of the DFIG based wind energy conversion system (WECS). A modified optimal model predictive controller (MPC) architecture for WECS is proposed in this paper. The proposed scheme is carried out in two stages, as follows:(a) Using the MPC model and the tracking factor, an optimal control law is created, and (b) the aforementioned optimized issue is addressed using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. Some improvements were made to the conventional LMI-based MPC technique to lower the high computational complexity. To perform active and reactive power control in DFIG, the proposed approach is applied on the rotor-side converter (RSC) control. The control law is divided into two sections. The first section deals with rotor current, while the second section deals with the RSC switching states. The LMI is used in the second portion of the control law to find the best switching state solution. The proposed method was created using the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and tested in a 1hP DFIG-WECS setup. By comparing the obtained results to conventional LMI-PI, MPC-based WECS, the effectiveness of the obtained results is verified. Variable wind speed conditions are used to vary all the results. Integral absolute error, integral time absolute error, and Integral square error measurements are used to compare the tracking performance index of all methods.doubly fed induction generator, model predictive control, stator power control, wind energy conversion system 1 | INTRODUCTION Among all the renewable resources, wind energy is the fastest-growing resource in the power production market. The doubly-fed induction generators (DFIG) are mostly preferred in power generation plants for variable speed operation. When a wind power system is added to an existing power grid, it causes problems with electricity quality and stability. In a DFIG based WECS, a power electronic converter plays a major role in the control performance of grid-connected WECS. Two converters, the rotor-side converter (RSC) and the grid side converter (GSC), are used in DFIG-WECS to manage power flow between the DFIG and the grid. The schematic diagram of DFIG-WECS is shown in Figure 1. The
