Fuzzy Logic Control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator Wind Turbine

This paper presents fuzzy logic control of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) wind turbine in a sample power system. DFIG consists of a common induction generator with slip ring and a partial scale power electronic converter. Fuzzy logic controller is applied to rotor side converter for active power control and voltage regulation of wind turbine. Wind turbine and its control unit are described in details. All power system components are simulated in PSCAD/EMTDC software and for fuzzy control, using a user defined block, this software is linked to MATLAB. For studying the performance of controller, different abnormal conditions are applied even the worst case. Simulation results prove the excellent performance of fuzzy control unit as improving power quality and stability of wind turbine
