Abstract:

This paper designs an indirect power control method for brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG), in which the stator is attached to grid with back-to-back space vector modulation (SVM) converter that converts the generated wind power. Our control method is a sliding mode control based on the theory of variable structure control. Specifically, the active and reactive powers, which are exchanged between the stator of the BDFIG and the grid in a linear and decoupled manner, are subjected to decoupled, vector control. In addition, a proportional integral (PI) controller was implemented to keep the DC-voltage constant for the back-to-back SVM converter. The efficiency of our control strategy was validated through simulation. The research greatly promotes the control of renewable energy generators.
