Abstract— In this work the performance of vector speed control of doubly fed induction machine is considered. Based on the analysis of doubly
fed induction machine dynamic mathematical model and the vector control principle, the construction of the motor control system has been
completed. Doubly fed induction machine module, the vector controller module, Clark transform module, Park transform module, inverter
module, flux module, speed-conditioning module have been set up by0adopting the idea of modular in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
Through the organic integration of functional modules, the vector control doubly fed induction machine system has been constituted. Simulation
results show the changes in the machine electromagnetic torque, the dynamic changes of speed curve, which demonstrate that the real system
can be well simulated with fast dynamic response speed, steady-state small of static error, and strong ability of anti-load disturbance.

Keywords- Doubly fed induction machine (DFIM), Vector control and MATLAB/SIMULINK, etc…

III. VECTOR CONTROL OF A DOUBLY FED INDUCTION

MACHINE
Among the different alternative control methods0that have
been developed0for the DFIM, only the vector control
technique is studied in this section, which is probably the Fig -2: Current control loops of the DFIM.
most extended and established one. In an equivalent way to
the classic vector control techniques of other different
machines, the vector control0of the DFIM is performed in a
synchronously rotating dq frame, in which the d-axis is
aligned. It is possible to perform dq rotor currents control,
simply by using a regulator for each current component.
Note that the stator flux and 𝜔𝑟 must be estimated for that
purpose; however, this is simple and does not add extra
difficulties. For the reference frame transformation, the
angle 𝜃r must be estimated. The control must be performed
in dq coordinates, but then the rotor voltage and currents
must be transformed into DQ coordinates. First, it is
possible to obtain the angle of the stator voltage space
vector, and then subtract 90 degree from this estimated
angle, and thus, obtain 𝜃s. A simple phase-locked loop
(PLL) can be used to perform the stator voltage grid
synchronization, providing0robustness to the0estimation and
a rejection of small disturbances or harmonics. Note that if
the DFIM employed presents a different turn’s ratio at the
stator0and rotor, it must be considered at the control stage.
In the control block diagram presented in Fig-2, the current
loops work with the rotor currents referred to the
stator0side, while the conversion to rotor-referred quantities Fig -3: Equivalent second-order system of closed-loop

This means that the q rotor current component is

proportional to the torque, that is, with 𝑖𝑞𝑟 it is possible to
control the torque and, consequently, the speed of the
machine if the application requires it. In a similar way, by
developing the stator reactive power expression in the dq
frame, we obtain a compact expression, which reveals that
𝑖𝑑𝑟 is responsible of Qs.

Therefore, because of the orientation chosen, it can be seen

that both rotor current components independently allow us

Simulation analysis is carried for variable reference speeds

The matching in speed is verified for both variable reference
