Abstract

This paper presents the control strategies of an offshore wind energy system based on 5MW Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). The DFIG seems to be interesting for such high power wind generator systems. The proposed control strategies include the Maximum Power Tracking (MPPT) for the DFIG speed control, the active/reactive power control, and the DC-bus voltage control method. To show the performances of the control strategies, some simulation results are presented and analyzed using Matlab/Simulink software.
