EXPLANATION
The stator circuit of the DFIG is connected to the
grid while the rotor circuit is connected to a
converter via slip rings.
The back-to-back converter consists of two
converters, i.e., machine-side converter and gridside converter, that are connected back-toback.
Between the two converters a dc-link capacitor

The main objective for the grid-side converter
is to keep the dc-link voltage constant.

EXPLANATION
The DFIG outcome signals is given to the
control system block
From the control system block, the control
signal information is forward to the DFIG
control parameters and the grid system
The wind information are forward to the
simultaneously
DFIG system, the
control system outcome is
used to confirm the generation of energy and
usage in grid system
The Voltage and current based information
of the DFIG is passed to through the
controller information for the further
processing so as to provide a controlled
outcome

to the Grid
Network

The signal
information
is passed
to the RSC
and VSC information Unit that is part of the
Control system in the DFIG unit.

CONCLUSION
The wind energy conversion system (WECS) has evolved from the
early fixed-speed wind turbine system into the modern variable
speed constant frequency (VSCF) system, due to its merits of low
mechanical stress and power fluctuations, quick dynamic response,
high wind energy capture ability, and flexible decoupled control of
Nowadays, direct
control techniques for the DFIG have found lot

power
of interests due to their simplicity and high dynamic performances
But the converter switching frequency widely varies as a
function of variations of the active and reactive powers, the
machine speed and the hysteresis bandwidth
The existing system is difficult to handle since switching
table used for the conversion is much complex.
More research are planned and currently in progress
Introduce wind energy conversion system based on a Fuzzy
logic controller (FLC) to fix the converter switching frequency
and to minimize the power ripples
