Abstract


This paper focuses on the investigation of the performance of rotor side vector control of Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs) used in wind turbines. These are widely utilised due to their low cost, high efficiency, and reliability. However, the dynamic behavior of DFIGs under varying wind speeds and grid conditions poses significant challenges in terms of stability. To address these issues, rotor side vector control is commonly employed. In this study, we present a review of existing research on rotor side vector control of DFIGs and provide an overview of the basic principles of DFIG operation and vector control concepts. The study analyzes the impact of various control parameters on the system performance under different wind speeds. The results suggest that rotor side vector control can improve the performance of DFIGs, and optimal control parameters depend on specific operating conditions. This study provides insights for the design, control, and optimization of DFIG-based wind energy conversion systems.
