Control of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator for Variable Speed Wind Energy Conversion Systems using Fuzzy Controllers optimized with a Genetic Algorithm

This paper presents a comprehensive study of a wind turbine system operating under variable wind conditions, utilizing a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) connected to the grid. The DFIG is controlled via a rotor-side transducer, allowing for independent regulation of the conductors to manage both active and reactive power flows effectively. The control strategy focuses on generating reference voltages for the rotor to ensure that active and reactive power align with the desired targets, optimizing the tracking of the maximum power point to maximize electrical output. The research analyzes the system's dynamic performance under fluctuating wind conditions, emphasizing control strategies for managing active and reactive energy. A notable innovation is the integration of fuzzy logic and genetic algorithm into the control strategy for the wind turbine's switching mechanism, which enhances system performance and efficiency. Simulation results demonstrate that this approach provides higher efficiency, improved performance, and greater stability compared to the traditional Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers. Advanced artificial intelligence methods, such as fuzzy genetic algorithm control, were employed and the proposed system's effectiveness was validated with Matlab/Simulink simulations.
