1  Introduction

The significance of generation using sustainable energy sources is rapidly increased in the current era since the RE sources helps to rectify the global warming problems and to minimize the usage of non-renewable power sources. Among various RE sources, the wind energy is booming as one of the remarkable sources as it owns the financial advantages of producing extremely large scale energy [1]. TheDFIG is mainly used in the wind turbines as it has various advantageous elements like variable speed characteristics, improved quality and high durability. The DFIG has the capability to manage the real and reactive power output. Despite the fact that the real power relies upon the wind energy, it tends to be governed in a transient way by employing the mechanical active vitality. It assits in incorporating the sustainable power source with the grid by using the DFIG as a consolidated framework. Whenever two sustainable power sources produce optimum power by governing the DFIG’s real power, the complete power is controlled to satisfy the requirement of grid. When the voltage is oscillating, the DFIG creates a measure of reactive power for controlling voltage.The advanced attributes of Variable Speed Consistent Frequency (VSCF) based DFIG has taken a significant part in the wind energy research. Thus, it has gained much attention among the researchers [2].

In DFIG, two parallel connected converters give the necessary current polarity in rotor windings. The grid connected converter is normally categorized as Grid Side Converter (GSC) whereas the converter, which is linked with the rotor windings is categorized as Rotor Side Converters (RSC). The principal function of GSC is to constantly retain the DC voltage and to balance the reactive power in the unbalanced situations [3]. The RSC gives the necessary current in rotor winding to create the necessary reactive and real powers at the stator terminal.

The power generation of variable speed Wind Turbines (WT)is comparatively better than the constant speed WT. By using this variable speed WT, the power generation is increased upto 6% to 39% with respect to the site condition and parameter selection [46]. Because of having these advantages, it is generally preferred by both the utilities and customers. To analyse the performance of the DFIG, various researches are carried out by using different approaches. The power generationofDFIGismeasured in various papers, which are clearly explainedin the subsequent parts. The operation of DFIG during the unbalanced power supply is remarkably represented in [7] whereas the DFIG operation during the balanced power supply is described in [8,9]. The power generated by various methods of the constant speed Wind Turbines using induction generator, inverter sustained induction generators based full factor speed wind turbine and various speed DFIG based WT is investigated in detail [10]. By utilizing a double sustained asynchronous motor as a generator, the generated power of DFIG is improved to 20% in the variable speed framework. By utilizing a wound rotor asynchronous motor, it is increased to 60% in the constant speed framework. However, the issueslike breeze conveyance, electric and machine losses are not considered in these works. The contribution of DFIG based WECS in the process of power generation is remarkably high. It aids in satisfying the power demand of both rural and urban places irrespective of any disturbances [11].

The DFIG’s principal execution is done by using a PI controller to generate a sinusoidal pulse with a steady exchanging frequency [12]. In the DFIG based analysis, the rotor location is obtained from voltage and current parameters [13]. An analysis is made on the matrix combination of DFIG with its activity in potential droop [14]. Additional analysis of transients’ model of DFIG is done [15]. The execution of power flow control strategy in DFIG is analysed, in whichthe hysteresis controller is utilized to accomplish the visualization [16]. The RSC and GSC are independently analyzed to study the performance of DFIG. A grid terminal controller is utilized to control the DC potential in an uneven source voltage situation. However, this process fails to compensate the reactive power [17]. The operating point of grid side controller is determined by the operating point of RSC and generator’s working situation.A nonlinear voltages and slip controllers for DFIG associated with the grid are clearly analysed in [18]. The instant real and reactive power depends on stator motion is examined by utilizing hysteresis current controller [19]. An outstanding vector control is implementedto manage the real and reactive powers, which are produced by the DFIG [20]. ADFIG based controller is same as the traditional AVR/PSS of synchronous generator, which controls the frequency and voltage of power system [21,22].

As the conventional current control methodology is a linearized model of Proportional Integral (PI) controller, it fails to give satisfied execution because of the issues like parameters changes, burden influences and a huge scale blow disturbances. In this work, a hypothetical execution of control system in the DFIG based wind generator is proposed. The field based control is implemented for monitoring the RSC whereas the hysteresis controller is utilized to monitor the GSC. The RSC provides an autonomous controlling of reactive and real power by maintaining the rotor flow. It has a high dependence on the electrical parameter and reference frame changes of the machine. The field oriented control approach delivers an extraordinary control execution withhigh robustness, transient and relentless state reaction. The GSC is regulated by the hysteresis control to maintain the fixed DC voltage and sine current at the line. Thus, the proposed approach gives better comprehension of DFIG in wind turbine application under various control environments. Fig. 1 highlights the block representation of the WT DFIG-PV scheme.

2  System Model

2.1 Wind Generator

By utilizing the wind energy, the wind turbine produces current to drive the generator. The lifting and rotating forcesmake the blade to rotate. A shaft, which is connected to the gearbox helps to increase the rotating speed of the generator and to transform the mechanical energy into electrical energy by generating the magnetic field [23].

The power generated by the WECS is expressed as,

Pm=0.5Cp(λ,β)ρπr2v3 (1)

In which, Ρ denotes the intensity of air, V denotes the wind velocity, β signifies the Pitch angle, Cp denotes the Power coefficient, r signifies the Radius of turbine blade and λ signifies the tip velocity proportion.

The expression of λ is given as,

λ=ωrv (2)

where, ω represents the angular veleocity.

The power coefficient Cp and the turbine’s output power are controlled by modifying the tip velocity percentageand adjusting the speed.

2.2 Modeling of DFIG

The DFIG uses conventional generator with some rotor potential [24]. The expressions of 3-phase DFIG in a synchronous rotating dq reference frame is represented as:

vds=RsidsωsΨqs+dΨdsdt (3a)

vqs=RsiqsωsΨds+dΨqsdt (3b)

vdr=RridrsωsΨqr+dΨdrdt (4a)

vqr=RriqrsωsΨdr+dΨqrdt (4b)

Ψds=Lsids+Lmidr (5a)

Ψqs=Lsiqs+Lmiqr (5b)

Ψdr=Lridr+Lmids (6a)

Ψqr=Lriqr+Lmiqs (6b)

In which, the angular velocity of synchronous reference frame is denoted as ωs, sωs = (ωs − ωe) is known as slip recurrence and slip is denoted as s, ωe denotes the angular velocity that is related to the mechanical velocity of generator via the Pole number as ωe = p/2ωr with stator and rotor resistance and inductance are denoted as Rs, Rr, Ls and Lr, mutual inductance is denoted as Lm and rotational velocity of rotor is denoted as ωr. The developed torque from the double fed induction generator is expressed as;

Te=32p(ΨdriqsΨqrids)=32pLm(idriqsiqrids) (7)

where ‘p’ is pair of poles

The real and reactive power of stator and rotor for DFIG is represented as,

Ps=32(vdsids+vqsiqs) (8)

Qs=32(vqsidsvdsiqs) (9)

Pr=32(vridr+vqriqr) (10)

Qr=32(vqridrvdriqr) (11)

where, the loss of power linked with rotor and stator resistances are omitted.

3  Control Techniques

3.1 Control Techniques of DFIG

The DFIGis consisted of rotor terminal and grid terminal controls. The real and reactive powers are are controlled by the GSC [25].

3.1.1 Control of RSC Using PI Controller

The primary aim of the GSC is to maintain a fixed DC potential irrespective of its value and rotor power flow direction. To satisfy this demand, a hysteresis controller is positioned with stator potential location as depicted in Fig. 2. It maintains the stability of DC potential and compensates the reactive power across the grid.

images

Figure 2: Architecture of proposed method for GSC

The required power supply of RSC is generally produced by the VSC, which is linked with the grid at the stator terminal of generator. The utilization of the capacitor eliminates the ripples and keeps the DC potential as smooth. The PWM converter is used for maintaining constant DC potential. The GSC provides real power demand of RSC. It is easy to operate the converter with flow reference system. Hence, a hysteresis control is adopted, in which the error among the expected and measured current is directed to control the potential of traditional sine PWM converter for achieving the necessary power factor [26]. The architecture of GSC is given in Fig. 2.

The voltages at the grid side in dq reference frame is expressed as,

vd=Rid +LdiddtLωiq+vdl (12)

vq=Riq +LdiqdtLωid+vql (13)

where, vd, vq are the grid voltages in d-q frame; vdl, vql are the grid side inverter voltage in dq frame; id, iq are the grid currents in dq frame. The filter inductance and resistance are denoted as L and R whereas the rotational recurrence is denoted as ω. The dynamic and reactive powers are mentioned as:

P=3(vdid+vqiq) (14)

Q=3(vdiqvqid) (15)

The position of the grid potential is calculated as,

θe=ωe dt=tan1(vβvα) (16)

where, the grid voltage components of α and β are denoted vα and vβ. As the grid potential is having a fixed magnitude, vd also has a fixed magnitude.

3.1.2 Rotor Side Controller

The DFIG gives the output power to both the stator and rotor windings of DFIG. Though, the velocity is slightly varied over the synchronous speed, the power factor is attained by using the generators. The rotor current iabcr of the generator is changed into the dq component as idr and iqr. The current iqr produce magnetic lines in the gap, which is lined up with the rotating motion to link with stator. In addition, these components produce flux, which is perpendicular to the vector. The generated torque is the vector multiplication of two vectors.Therefore, the current idr contribute to the torque production in a wider range. The current idr controls the reactive power, which is fed into the generator. The exact order of currents idr and iqr is allowed by controlling the real and reactive power on the stator side.

The significant objective of this controller is to get correct location of the rotational magnetic flux in vector space to get the outline of rotating reference. As stated by Lenz’s law of electromagnetic theory, the potential of stator is derived from the stator flux links. Thus, the 3Ф stator potential and current are converted into αβ component. The stator flux in αβ reference equation is represented as,

Ψαβs=vαβsRsiαβsdt=(Ψαs,Ψβs) (17)

To arrange the synchronously rotating dq reference casing with the stator motion, the data of stator flux gradientis obtained from the subsequent expression,

Ψs=|Ψαβs|angle(Ψαβs) (18)

angle(Ψαβs)=θs=tan1(ΨαsΨβs);|Ψαβs|

=Ψαs2+Ψβs2 (19)

The angle θs provides the correct location of rotating magnetic flux of stator. The rotor is rotating and promptly positioned at gradient θr. With a mentioned casing fixed rotor, the stator magnetic field is at θs − θr, called as the “slip angle”. The reference frame is aligned to create a simple representation.

vqs=ωsΨds=vs;vds=0 (20)

As the torque is depended on current iqr it is controlled by voltage vqr . The controller calculates the error between the current idr and iqr along with the reference current idrref and iqrref. The error is then applied to PI controller for obtaining the voltages vdr and vqr . The controller output has to be balanced with the reference voltage, vdrref and vqrref as shown below,

vdrref=Rridr+σLrdidrdtωslipσLriqr (21)

vqrref=Rriqr+σLrdiqrdtωslip(LmLsΨds+σLridr) (22)

In this control mechanism shown in Fig. 3, the rotor current (idr, iqr) has to be regulated to follow the corresponding references, idrref and iqrref.

Figure 3: Control scheme of RSC

The q-axis current shows the generator real power whereas the d-axis current shows the reactive power. Eventually, the q-axis current is linked to the electromechanical torque of the generator and d-axis current is linked with DC potential.

idrref=vqs/ωsLM (23)

iqrref=2TeLs/(3PLM2id) (24)

The PWM controller operates on the generator’s rotor.The stator potential is positioned at rotor, which is shown in equation [27].

3.2 Control Techniques of Solar PV System

The non-reliable output of PV array makes it hard to achieve the proficient activity of the system. To obtain the optimal resultand to enhance the performance of the system, various MPPT (maximum power point tracking) techniquesare utilized [28]. Irrespective of fluctuations, the MPPT method constantly enhances the output power of power generating system in all circumstances. The MPPT is a basic and dependable method, which helps in the effective activity of sustainable power source. A GA-ANN based MPPT calculation is implemented in this study.

3.2.1 Landsman Converter

The DC-DC converters are playing a prominent role in enhancing the output voltage of PV [29]. The Landsman converter is one of the significant DC–DC converter, which has the ability of boosing the PV output in a wider range. The structure of the Landsman converter is represented in Fig. 4a.

images

Figure 4(a): Landsman converter

The inductor in the input side removes all oscillations, which are caused by the switching devices. The Landsman converter works in CC Mode to ignore the variation in the irradiance level [30]. The working of converter is split into two modes as depicted in Figs. 4b and 4c.

images

Figure 4(b): Mode I Operation

images

Figure 4(c): Mode II Operation

Mode I

Fig. 4b shows the arrangement of Mode I operation. In switch ON state, the diode is reverse biased. Hence, the inductor current IL passes through switch S. If VC1 is greater than the output voltage Vdc, the intermediate capacitor, C1 discharges through the switch.Then inductor L transfers the charge to the output. Thus, the voltage across the capacitor vc1 is reduced and inductor current iL is increased, as portrayed in Fig. 4b.

Mode II

Fig. 4c shows the arrangement of mode II operation.The diode is forward biased in switch OFF condition. The inductor current passes through diode IL. Through diode, inductor L transfer its charge to the output side. C1 is charged by the energy from source and inductor L1 [31]. Thus, intermediate capacitor vc1is increasedand the inductor current iLis reduced as depicted in Fig. 4c.

Design of Landsman Converter

The current across L1, IL1 is measured by considering the CC mode operation. All the ripple elements in IL1 , which pave the way through capacitor C1 are assumed [32]. Extra flux ΔΦ is noticed in the shaded part of waveform vc1 . Therefore, the peak-to-peak ripple current ΔIL1 is written as,

ΔIL1=ΔΦL1=Δvc1TL1222 (25)

In switch off state, the current through C1 is represented as,

iC1=IL1=C1Δvc1(1D)T (26)

In which,

D signifies the duty ratio and T signifies the switching period.

By using the above expression, the ripples in the voltage vc1 is evaluated as,

Δvc1=IL1C1(1D)T (27)

By substituting Δvc1 from (27) in (25),

ΔIL1=IL1L122C1(1D)TT2 (28)

ΔIL1=18L1C1IL1(1D)fSW2 (29)

By normalizing the above expression, it is given as,

ΔIL1IL1=18L1C1(1D)fSW2 (30)

IL1=D1DIdc (31)

where, Idc signifies the Current, which is produced by the Landsman Converter.

By substituting Eq. (31) in (29),

L1=DIdc8C1ΔIL1 (32)

3.2.2 Control of Landsman Converter for DC Link Voltage

The GA-ANN based MPPT gives optimum power from the solar energy, whichaids in increasing the efficacy of the converter. The Landsman converter is used to improvise the solar power through MPPT approach. Through the intelligent switching called GA-ANN, the array voltage is controlled and maintained at maximum level.

3.2.3 GA Optimized ANN Controller

The ANN is one of the best techniques, which provides excellent outcome than other algorithms. The ANN consists 3 nodes like input, hidden and output nodes. The data moves only in forward directionfrom one node to another node. This network has no cycles or loops. Fig. 5a depicts the block representation of ANN. The neural network in this type has two input nodes, a hidden layer and two output layer.In this network, the back propagation training scheme is utilized.

The Landsman converter minimizes the ripples in the output voltage of PV and increases the voltage gain. The PV output voltage is fedto the DC capacitor voltage in parallel. Fig. 7 represents the output voltage of Landsman converter. A constant potential is given to DC the link capacitor in DFIG This constant voltage minimizes the power quality problems and increases the stability of DFIG output voltage. The GA optimized ANN controller maintains output voltage ofthe converter as constant without any transients. The controller takes less time for reaching the steady value. The GA-ANN controller delivers better performance than the PI controller.
