Rotor Current Controller with Voltage Harmonics Compensation for a DFIG Operating under Unbalanced and Distorted Stator Voltage

The doubly fed induction generator is particularly appropriate to be used in wind power generation systems. However, in weak grids its stator connection to unbalanced or distorted voltages imposes low frequency and high amplitude rotor current harmonics. Also, the grid side converter must deal with the same voltage conditions. The paper addresses the first issue presenting a voltage harmonics controller in the dq reference frame to be included in the high dynamics rotor current controller. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate the performance of the proposed controller imposing a sinusoidal input current.
