VOLTAGE DIPS EFFECTS DETECTION AND COMPENSATION FOR


DOUBLY-FED INDUCTION GENERATOR BASED WIND ENERGY
CONVERSION SYSTEM

Key words: Fault tolerant control, Voltage dips, Fault detection, Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), Lyapunov theory,
Linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) conditions.
Doubly-fed induction generators (DFIGs) are the most widely used types in wind turbine (WT) systems due to their mechanical
reliability and control flexibility. Electrical faults however remain a major concern in DFIGS in which accurate fault detection
(FD) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) of their electrical parts play a crucial role to increase their reliability and availability and
those of the entire wind farms. More particularly, voltage dips (VDs) effects on both the stator and the rotor of a DFIG make it
vulnerable to frequent failures which are undesired in practice. This article therefore introduces a model-based design for
efficient and robust fault detection, identification, and estimation in addition to a compensation control scheme for VDs in
DFIGs. An adaptive proportional integral observer (APIO) is designed for detection and compensation of VDs with a robust
FTC that allows fault-ride-through capability and maintains the stability and smooth operation in DFIG-based wind power
generation. The proposed observer and the fault tolerant controller of the nonlinear DFIG are designed through Lyapunov
theory to ensure sufficient stability conditions described by a system of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). These designs are then
analysed across various tests for their VDs detection, estimation, and compensation capabilities.

turbine systems rely on the DFIG-based design of wind
energy conversion system (WECS) to flexibly achieve a
variable rotor speed that allows for efficient and smooth
power generation over varying wind-speed conditions and
also to increase safety and avoid mechanical failures. Minor
advantages of DFIG-based design of WECS also include
flexible control of wind power generation with a high
power-size ratio and less mechanical maintenance as well
as lower costs [1]. These generators, however, during their
operation can be influenced by different kind of faults such
as, current sensor faults, voltage dips [2, 3]. Fig. 1 – Important steps for fault detection, identification and
reconfiguration.
Electrical faults however remain serious concern in those
designs. Voltage dips are severe faults that frequently cause The leading task consists of rapid detection of anomalous
