Abstract

Doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) are the most popular for application in varying speed wind turbines. This is because of their reduced converter sizes and ability to operate within 30% of their rated speeds. In addition, it also allows for decoupled control of the active and reactive powers. This study provides insight into the application and performance of linear robust control strategies for the operation of the DFIG at different steady states in addition to faulty phenomenon such as grid voltage distortion. To do this, the study explores the designs of loop shaping control, H control, μ control and linear parameter varying (lpv) control. The four controllers are applied separately with similar conditions in a Matlab Simulink environment and the results compared. It is noted that though all the comtrollers are robust and promising for stability and tracking, the H control results into the best performance.
