Wind Energy Conversion Systems with Integrated Active Filter Capabilities Using DFIG and Control by Using Fuzzy

Authors(2) :-S. Vaishali, G. Goutham Reddy

This paper proposes the operation of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) with integrated active filter capabilities by using grid side converter (GSC). When the wind turbine is in shutdown condition the wind energy conversion system acts as a static compensator (STATCOM) for supplying harmonics. For supplying harmonics in addition to its slip power transfer the grid side converter plays an important role. Both gaining the maximum power extraction and also to provide required reactive power to the DFIG rotor-side converter is used. Detailed control algorithms of both RSC and GSC are presented. Here we are using the fuzzy controller compared to other controllers because of its accurate performance. Implemented project DFIG- based WECS is simulated using MATLAB/Simulink.
