Abstract

This paper presents the performance of different reactive power control strategies for reduction of the losses in doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) drives. The proposed strategy achieves its goal through controlling the decoupled active and reactive power flow in the machine and in the converters. Considering the machine-copper losses, converters loss and filter loss, the proposed method is derived. The modeling of the DFIG-based wind turbine along with its control strategy is designed using Matlab/Simulink environment and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.
