Abstract :
Doubly-Fed Induction Generators (DFIGs), often organized in wind parks, are the most important generators used for variable speed wind energy generation. This paper reviews the control systems for the operation of DFIGs in wind energy applications. Control systems for connections to balanced or unbalanced grids, and sensorless control.
