    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.

    Influence of the grid-side converter synchronization loop on the small-signal stability of a grid-forming DFIG wind turbine
    (IEEE, 2024-08-30) Samanes Pascual, Javier; Oraa Iribarren, Iker; Gubía Villabona, Eugenio; López Taberna, Jesús; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    In grid-forming mode (GFM) doubly-fed induction generator based wind turbines connected to the grid, the converter connected to the rotor side is normally responsible for providing the grid-forming characteristics, while the grid-side converter commonly controls the DC-bus voltage thanks to a current control loop implemented in a rotating reference frame. The angle for the rotating reference frame is obtained by means of a phase-locked loop, which synchronizes the converter with the grid. However, this synchronization loop can introduce stability problems in weak grids. This paper proposes to synchronize the grid-side converter by means of the power synchronization loop of the GFM control of the rotor-side converter. This eliminates the need to use of a specific phase-locked loop, improving small-signal stability as demonstrated in the small-signal stability analysis performed in this paper.

    Control strategy for a droop-controlled grid-connected DFIG wind turbine
    (IEEE, 2022) Oraa 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.
