    Control strategy for a droop-controlled grid-connected DFIG wind turbine
    (IEEE, 2022) Oraá Iribarren, Iker; Samanes Pascual, Javier; López Taberna, Jesús; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    The application of droop control techniques without inner current control loops to doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based wind turbines does not allow to provide a stable response at all operating points in terms of rotational speed and active and reactive power. After modeling the system dynamics and analyzing the causes of instability, this paper proposes a control strategy that allows to stabilize the system response at all possible operating points. Simulation results performed in MATLAB/Simulink validate the proposed control strategy proving its effectiveness.

    Modeling of a droop-controlled grid-connected DFIG wind turbine

    Traditionally, to characterize the response of droop-controlled systems RMS models have been used. However, as it is demonstrated in this work, when droop control is applied to doubly-fed induction generators, RMS models do not allow to predict the system stability and dynamic response. Thus, in this article, a linearized small-signal model that overcomes the limitations of RMS models is presented. The proposed model is validated by simulation in MATLAB/Simulink demonstrating that it allows to accurately analyze the stability and dynamic response of the system under study. This model is an interesting tool that can be used in future works to design and adjust grid-forming controllers for doubly-fed induction generators.

    Single-loop droop control strategy for a grid-connected DFIG wind turbine
    (IEEE, 2023) Oraá Iribarren, Iker; Samanes Pascual, Javier; López Taberna, Jesús; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    When grid-forming droop control strategies are implemented in grid-connected power converters, two control strategies are widely used: the single-loop and multiloop droop controls. However, only multiloop droop control strategies with inner control loops have been implemented in doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines so far. This article proposes the application of a single-loop droop control strategy to a DFIG wind turbine, which has not been previously explored or implemented. As shown in the article, the application of the conventional droop control without inner control loops to DFIG-based wind power systems does not ensure a stable response. After modeling the system dynamics and evaluating its stability, two causes of instability have been identified: a resonance at the rotor electrical frequency relevant at high slips and a phase margin reduction at low slips. To solve these instability issues two control solutions are proposed: the emulation of a virtual resistor and a phase rotation. The proposed control strategy allows stabilizing the system and achieving a fast and damped dynamic response. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated by experimental results.
