Modelling and operation of Doubly-Fed Induction Generator Wind Turbines (DFIG-WTs)

The RPP consists of a combination of
200kW solar farm and a 9MW wind farm built of six 1.5MW doubly-fed induction generator
wind turbines (DFIG-WTs). The structure of each DFIG-WT

The specific purposes are:
 To understand the relation between wind turbine performance coefficient (cp) and tipspeed ratio (λ) at different values of pitch angle (β).
 To build the power circuit in a Simulink model of a 1.5MW DFIG wind turbine
(being one of six WTs in a 9MW DFIG wind farm) and simulate it at steady state
conditions and familiarize with turbine components.
 Develop theoretical background on DFIG operation using simulation runs at various
steady state operating points and parameter values.
 Investigation of DFIG operation at different wind speeds:
- Identification and exploration of different control regions within the power curve.
- Exploration of power and rotor speed relationships in DFIG
