Steady state characteristic simulation of DFIG for wind power system

Wind power, as an important and promising renewable resource, is widely studied. Because the wind is highly variable, it is very desirable to operate a wind turbine at variable speeds. In this respect, doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) has become popular in wind power generation system. The steady state simulation analysis of a DFIG is essential to understand the behavior of DFIG such that it can operate at maximum power producing point for a given wind speed. This paper explores the steady state characteristic of a DFIG in wind power generation system using MATLAB. ©2010 IEEE
