INTRODUCTION Against the backdrop of increasing awareness of the effects of global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions and with fossil-fuel prices on the rise and their availability becoming increasingly unreliable, the need for more environmental friendly electric power system has become the thrust area of energy research for sustainable growth of technology. To address security of supply and energy diversification, renewable energy sources are regarded the most attractive front-line of the world’s energy challenges. Among a variety of renewable energy sources, wind energy is the most rapidly growing one in the power industry as it is cost competitive, environmentally clean, fuel free (produces no CO2), freely available and safe renewable power source as compared to fuel and nuclear power generation. Now-a-days, Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) system, comprising of a slip-ring induction generator, a backto-back AC-DC-AC electronic converter and a common DClink capacitor has become one of the most popular wind generator systems. The back to back AC-DC-AC voltage source converter has two main parts: grid side converter (GSC) to rectify grid voltage and rotor side converter (RSC) to feed controllable voltage to the rotor circuit of DFIG [1]. Power electronics converter processes only the slip power. Therefore it is designed in partial scale, for just about 30% of generator rated power [2]. This causes reduction in converter cost, injection of less harmonics to the grid, improves overall energy conversion efficiency [3]-[6] and further, there exists scope for independent control of active and reactive powers. The DFIG control is accomplished traditionally by proportional and integral controllers (PI controllers), which have a simple structure and also present a reasonably robust performance. However the success of the PI controller, and consequently a better system performance depend on an appropriate choice for the gains. Many different structures and control algorithms can be used for control of power electronics converter. One of the most common control techniques is decoupled PI control of output active and reactive power to improve dynamic behavior of wind turbine. But, due to uncertainty about the exact model and behavior of some parameters such as wind, wind turbine, etc and also variation of parameter values during operation because of variations in temperature, events or unpredictable wind speed, tuning of PI 29 Abstract: This paper presents the performance study of a DFIG based variable speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) using pole placement technique. Independent control of active and reactive power exchange between the stator of the DFIG and the grid has been achieved to ensure maximum power point tracking (MPPT) mechanism of a WECS. Vector control based sinusoidal PWM scheme using pole-placement technique is incorporated with an optimal speed tracking controller for maximum energy capture in the rated wind speed range and restrict the mechanical output power to the rated value using pitch angle control when the wind velocity crosses rated limit to prevent overloading and outage of the wind turbine. Simulation has been carried out in MATLAB/simulink environment and results have been analyzed. Results show that the DFIG based wind turbine can operate at its optimum energy for a wide range of wind speed and it can also control active and reactive power independently.

Performance Analysis of a DFIG based Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion System. Discovery, 2015, 47(216), 29-36 parameters is one of the main problems in such control method. In the present work, pole-placement method [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12] is used, for its straightforwardness and simplicity, to design PI-controllers in current control loops and power control loops. Initially, a circuitry simulation model of a 1.5MW variable wind turbine with a DFIG is developed in MATLAB/Simulink. The paper is organized as follows: Section II, III and IV presents, modeling and control of the DFIG Wind turbine, vector control of the DFIG Wind turbine and Pole placement controllers design respectively. Simulation results are shown in section V. Finally, conclusions are drawn in section VI. II. MODELLING AND CONTROL OF THE DFIG WIND TURBINE medium range, by following the maximum value of the wind power coefficient (Cp_max), as depicted in Fig-3. The mechanism for MPPT of the wind turbine is coded on MATLAB/Simulink Embedded-MALTAB function environment and is explained in the flow chart shown in Fig-4. Fig-2 Cp Vs for different β Fig-1 shows the basic structure of a DFIG-Wind Turbine system. DFIG is a wound rotor Induction Machine. Its stator terminals are directly connected to the grid, while the rotor terminals are connected to the same grid, but via a PWM backto-back converter which consists of rotor side converter (RSC) and a grid side converter (GSC) [13]. The wind turbine is mechanically coupled to the shaft of DFIG's rotor via gear. Fig-3 Power Vs Rotor Speed idcr idcg i dc C Fig-1 Structure of the DFIG based wind system. A. Modelling of the Wind Turbine The mechanical power Pm captured by the turbine from the wind for a given wind speed (Vw) is computed by the following expression [14]-[15]: Pm 1 ( E w ) * C p V w3 C p t 2 (1) Where Cp is the turbine power co-efficient and is a nonlinear function of the and the pitch angle β and can be computed as follows [14] [16]: i 0.0068 (2) 1 1 0 .0 3 5 3 0 .0 8 1 Since Cp= f ( , β), the plot of Cp Vs at various values of β is shown in Fig-2. For β equal to zero the maximum Cp value is bounded according to Betz’s limit. In Fig. 3 shows the amount of electrical power developed at different rotor speeds (produced at different wind speeds). B. Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) The objective of the MPPT mode of operation is to extract maximum possible power at different wind speeds, in low to Fig-4 Maximum power point Tracking C. Pitch Angle Controller When the wind velocity increases beyond the rated value, the electromagnetic torque and hence rotor speed becomes too high to control. To restrict rotor speed from becoming too high, the extracted power from incoming wind is restricted to its rated value by reducing the power coefficient (Cp value) using pitch angle control, as shown in Fig-2. The mechanism for blade pitch angle control of the wind turbine is coded on MATLAB/Simulink S-function environment and explained in the flowchart shown in Fig-5. D.

Performance Analysis of a DFIG based Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion System. Discovery, 2015, 47(216), 29-36 Machine in wind power applications [17]. The operating principle of a DFIM can be analyzed using the classical theory of rotating fields and the well-known d-q model, involving both three-to-two and two-to-three phase axes transformations [18]. The equations for voltages and fluxes, in the arbitrary d-q reference frames, are [18]: d sd dt d sq dt d rd dt d rq dt V sd R s isd V sq R s isq V rd R s isd V rq R s isq sd r rq r rd A. Vector-Control scheme of GSC Grid-voltage-oriented vector control approach is used for GSC to achieve independent control of active power between grid and DC link (using d-axis current, for maintaining constant dc-link voltage Vdc) and reactive power between the grid and grid-side converter (using q-axis current). Fig-6 shows the schematic of the grid-side PWM voltage source converter. sq (3) The flux linkages are given by: sd Ls isd Lmird sq Ls isq Lmirq rd Lr ird Lmisd rq Lr irq Lmisq Fig-6 Grid-side PWM voltage source converter (4) The voltage balance across the inductor V V i i V =R i +L i + V (7) i i V V Using the abc-to-dq transformation matrix, the corresponding equation in the dq-reference frame, rotating at we is V =R i +L −w L i +V (8) V =R i +L +w L i +V (9) The active (Pg) and reactive (Qg) power flow between the grid and GSC can be given by [7] P = (V i + V i ) (10) Q = (V i − V i ) (11) The angular position θe of grid voltage is calculated as θ = ∫ w dt = tan III. VECTOR CONTROL OF THE DFIG WIND TURBINE The Vector control of wind turbine coupled DFIG is achieved by controlling RSC and GSC. RSC is controlled for getting independent control of active power Ps and reactive power Qs of the stator. GSC is controlled for maintaining constant dclink voltage Vdc and to regulate exchange of reactive power Qg between GSC and grid [19]. Q =− V i (14) B. Vector-Control Scheme of RSC The RSC of DFIG is controlled in synchronously rotating dqaxis frame, with d-axis oriented along stator-flux vector position, shown in Fig-7(b). The PWM voltage source converter is current regulated with the d-axis current used to regulate the stator reactive power and q-axis current used to regulate the stator active power. The stator fluxes and angular position θs is calculated [7] as 31 The electromagnetic torque developed by the DFIG can be expressed as: 3 p (5) T e m s d * i s q s q i s d 2 2 The active and reactive stator power can be expressed as [7]: P = V i +V i (6) Q = (V i − V i ) where Vgα and Vgβ are the stationary dq-axis grid voltage components. By aligning d-axis of reference frame along grid voltage position, expressed by (12) and shown in Fig-7a, Vgq is made zero which results Vds equal to the amplitude of the grid voltage, a constant. Under such circumstances, from (10) & (11), the active and reactive power flow between the grid and GSC become proportional to igd and igq respectively. Fig-8 shows the vector control scheme employed for grid side PWM voltage control converter. P = V i (13) Page Fig.5 Pitch angle controller (S-function modeling) (12) Subir Datta, Mishra JP, Roy AK.

POLE PLACEMENT CONTROLLERS DESIGN The pole placement technique is a formal technique used to design PI controllers, based on the knowledge of the plant transfer function. The objective of the technique is to design controllers that will result in specified pole positions for the closed loop system. In the present work, pole-placement method [7] is used for designing PI-controllers in current control loops and power control loops of RSC and GSC, for its straight forwardness and simplicity.

SIMULATION RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The model of the complete system has been prepared using MATLAB/Simulink and simulations have been carried out for A. Transient response without pitch controller, for wind velocity variations from below rated to rated and back to below rated (i.e. 8m/s to 12m/s to 8m/s) During 0 to 8 sec time interval wind velocity is 8 m/s (below the rated wind speed 12 m/s). In this time interval, simulation result shows that the rotor side active power controller adjust the turbine speed to make power coefficient maximum (approximately 0.48) as per the command of MPPT controller to capture maximum power (at zero pitch angle). As the generator operates below synchronous speed (i.e. subsynchronous mode), the rotor absorbs active power from the grid (positive rotor power as shown in Fig-13(l)). During time interval 8 to 18 sec, a ramp increase in wind velocity from 8 m/s to 12 m/s at t = 8 sec. Controller adjusts the rotor speed to capture maximum active power output from the varied wind speed. Reactive power is regulated to a zero value for unity power factor generation. It is observed that when generator changes from sub-synchronous mode to super-synchronous mode of operation, the rotor delivers active power to the grid (Negative rotor power as shown in fig-13(l)). Also, fig-13(m) shows the rotor current changes its phase while the operation changes from sub-synchronous to super synchronous mode of operation and vice-versa. Although MPPT controller tracks the Cp maximum value corresponding to maximum power with respect to variation speed below the rated value 12 m/s, there is deviation in actual Cp value from Cp-max observed during transient period. Hence, there is little deviation in the speed tracking and active power tracking response also observed before they track their respective reference values as shown in Fig-13 (a)-(d). During time interval 18 to 25 sec, a ramp decrease in wind velocity from 12 m/s to 8 m/s at t = 18 sec. The rotor speed is again adjusted by the controller to capture maximum active power from the wind as like in the first interval. From Fig-13 (d)-(j), it is also observed that the change in the stator active power generated, rotor speed and electromagnetic torque corresponding to the variation in the wind speed is due to change in the rotor q-axis current by the active power PI controller; similarly, the reactive power PI controller controls the d-axis rotor current to be at zero value (approximately) so as to generate zero reactive power for unity power factor power generation at constant stator (Grid) voltage (constant Vqs with Vds=0) level. Fig.13 (k), (n)-(p) shows the Vdc link voltage remains almost constant throughout 33 Fig-11 Cascade active power control loop Page Fig-10 Current control loop the complete model.

B. Transient response with pitch controller, for wind speed variations from below rated to above rated and back to below rated (i.e. 8m/s to 14m/s to 8m/s) In this case, with the ramp increase in wind velocity from 8 m/s to 14 m/s (above rated speed = 12 m/s) at t = 6 sec, it is observed that the pitch angle controller restricts the output power at rated power level by reducing the power co-efficient (corresponding to Pmax value) with the increase in the blade pitch angle beta (β) as the wind speed increases above rated value 12 m/s as shown in fig-14 (a)-(d). Accordingly β increases from zero value when wind speed increases above 12 m/s (between 6 to 7 sec) and reaches a value 5◦ approximately corresponding to reduced Cp-max (3.2 approximate) at 14 m/s. It is also observed from Fig. 14 (e)-(g) that active power PI controller changes the generated (stator) power as per the command of MPPT controller below the rated wind velocity and Pitch-angle controller above the rated wind speed with corresponding change in rotor speed and electromagnetic torque; similarly, reactive power PI-controller ensures zero stator reactive power for unity power factor generation. From Fig. 14 (h)-(i), it can also be observed that the dc-link voltages PI-controller along with dq-axes current PI-controllers of GSC control the rotor power flow between GSC and Grid to maintain dc-link voltage almost constant under varying wind speed.

CONCLUSIONS 34 Fig-13 (g) d-axis rotor current (Ird) & (h) q-axis current (Irq) Fig-13 (i) q-axis stator voltage (Vsq) & (j) d-axis stator voltage (Vsd) Page This paper has investigated the performance of a 1.5MW DFIG based variable speed wind energy conversion system in the MATLAB / Simulink environment. The pole placement technique is used to determine the gains of active and reactive power PI controllers and corresponding inner current PI controllers of RSC for decoupled control of stator active and reactive power to ensure maximizing the power generation at unity power factor under varying wind speed. The internal model control technique is used to determine the PI controller gains for the dc-link voltage controller of GSC to maintain dc link voltage almost constant under varying rotor active power flow corresponding to varying wind velocity. The pole placement technique is used to determine of gains of dq-axes current PI controller which eventually controls the active power flow between the GSC and Grid at unity displacement factor. This paper has also incorporated an optimal speed tracking controller mechanism and pitch angle controller mechanism for maximum energy capture during low wind velocity and restricting the mechanical output power to its rated value during higher wind velocity respectively. The simulation result shows good dynamic response of DFIG based WECS under varying wind speed power generation. Subir Datta, Mishra JP, Roy AK.
