Modeling a grid-forming DFIG wind turbine

This paper presents a small-signal state-space model that allows analyzing the dynamics of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines in which grid-forming control strategies are implemented. Specifically, in this paper, a droop-controlled DFIG wind turbine is modeled. The system is modeled in the dq-axis, synchronized with the grid voltage, which simplifies the modeling by not having to linearize the terms dependent on the rotational speed of the dq-axis. Independent models for each element of the system are obtained, which are then combined to model the complete system under study. This modeling methodology provides great flexibility, allowing for easy inclusion of the LC harmonic filter, and enabling future incorporation of the grid-side converter to analyze its interaction with the rotor-side converter. The developed model is validated through simulation, demonstrating that it accurately reproduces the dynamic response of the system under study.
