Abstract

The control systems for the variable-speed wind turbine based on the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) pose some tuning challenges. The performance and stability of DFIG wind turbines during faults in power grids are directly related to their controller settings. This work investigates how incorporating protection via a braking-Chopper controller connected to the DC link (DC Chopper) and a reactive-current injection during the PI-tuning process affects the performance of DFIG wind turbines during electrical faults. For the tuning process, the Multi-Objective-Particle-Swarm-Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm was used. Thus, two different approaches adopting this methodology were investigated, considering sequential and simultaneous tuning. The results showed that sequential tuning presented a better performance in relation to the reactive-current injection and lower amplitude deviations of the electrical quantities during and after the fault. On the other hand, simultaneous tuning reached damping of the mechanical oscillations faster and presented better performance of the protection system.
