GRID-VOLTAGE-ORIENTED SLIDING

MODE CONTROL FOR DFIG UNDER


BALANCED AND UNBALANCED GRID
FAULTS
INTRODUCTION

DFIG is the most commonly used electric machine in wind


generation. It provides excellent performance in limited range
speed applications with the main advantage of partially rated
power converter, however this machine is particularly sensitive
to voltage variations since the stator is connected directly to the
electric grid. When mutual flux is altered, torque oscillations
may appear severely affecting blades shaft and trans-mission
system. If the rotor-side controller is not suitable for working
under disturbances, the stator currents may become non-
sinusoidal compromising stability of the electric grid.In several
countries, fault ride-through capability has become mandatory in
the interconnection of new generation units. The higher the
penetration of wind generators the stricter the tech-nical
standards for turbines interconnection must be. These re-
quirements, known as grid codes, cover voltage operating range,
power factor regulation, frequency operating range, grid support
capability and low fault ride-through capability.Modern grid
codes require the generator to stay connected during voltage
dips and inject reactive power to restore the electric grid.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
Modern grid codes require the generator to stay connected
during voltage dips and inject reactive power to restore the
electric grid . Furthermore, after clearance of the fault, active
power injection is required for electric frequency support For
DFIG, an abrupt voltage variation causes a natural flux in the
stator that may induce over-voltages in the rotor windings that
could affect or even destroy the power converter. Therefore, the
use of crowbar or another protection device is necessary for
severe voltage dips. However, once the current has decreased,
the injection of demagnetizing current can be used for restoring
faster the stator flux to its central position and continue with
reactive power contribution to the grid, improving transient
response of the generator under natural flux .

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
The basic scheme of the system is display in Fig. 1, the
stator is directly connected to the electric grid, while the rotor
needs a bidirectional power flow between the grid and electric
machine, therefore, back-to-back power converter is used.
Typically, the nominal power of the back-to-back converter is
30% of the generator nominal power. Doubly fed induction
generators (DFIGs) are widely used in variable-speed wind
turbines. Despite the well-accepted performance of DFIGs, these
generators are highly sensible to grid faults. Hence, the presence
of grid faults must be considered in the design of any control
system to be deployed on DFIGs. Sliding mode control (SMC)
is a useful alternative for electric machinery control since SMC
offers fast dynamic response and less sensitivity to parameter
variations and disturbances. Additionally, the natural outputs of
SMC are discontinuous signals allowing direct switching of
power electronic devices. In this paper, a grid-voltage-oriented
SMC is proposed and tested under low voltage grid faults.

ADVANTAGES:
 The controller has the main advantages of simple structure,
no dependence on system parameters and switching of
power electronic devices directly from the controller output
signals.
 The controller is able to track torque and stator reactive
power even under voltage distortion of the grid without
sequence de-composition of rotor current nor further
modification of the original controller.

APPLICATIONS:
 Wind generation
