Abstract

This chapter presents a comprehensive coverage on the modeling and control design of variable speed wind energy–conversion systems (WECSs). Different wind turbines, generator configurations, and converter topologies are presented. The stability and power quality issues are also studied. In the simulation studies presented a squirrel-cage induction generator (SCIG)-based WECS is considered. The first control scheme considered in this chapter is based on vector control theory. Indirect field–oriented control (IFOC) scheme with proportional and integral are designed for SCIG speed control. A simple maximum power point tracking strategy is used to determine the optimal speed under variable wind speed conditions, which is then used as the reference in the IFOC scheme. Power flow between the supply and the inverter is regulated via simultaneous control of the active and reactive currents of the grid and the DC-link voltage.

The second control approach discussed in this chapter is based on direct torque control (DTC) theory, which has been successfully used to a variety of high-performance indu...
