Abstract

A sensorless stand-alone control scheme of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-DC system is investigated in this paper. In this layout, the stator voltage is rectified by a diode bridge that is directly connected to a dc bus. The rotor-side voltage source inverter is the only controlled converter required in this system and is directly powered by the same dc bus created by the stator-side rectifier. DC voltage and stator frequency are regulated by two independent proportional-integral regulators that give the references for inner current controllers implementing field-oriented control. As it is capable of creating a stable and regulated dc bus, this system can be conveniently adopted to supply dc loads or to form a dc grid. Due to the constraint imposed by the stator diode bridge, the DFIG has to operate under a constant stator voltage, and the conventional stator field-oriented control implemented in stand-alone ac DFIG must be modified. This paper presents the control structure and the theoretical framework for the controller synthesis. Simulation and experimental validations on a small-scale rig are included.
