Wind Turbine Simulation with Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) using MATLAB Simulink - Implementation and Control Strategies

Detailed Documentation

This project implements a MATLAB Simulink simulation model for wind turbine systems using Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) technology. The simulation includes comprehensive modeling of wind turbine aerodynamics, DFIG electrical dynamics, and power converter control systems. Key components feature rotor-side and grid-side converter controllers implementing vector control strategies with Park transformations for decoupled active and reactive power regulation. The model incorporates maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms for optimal wind energy extraction and includes protection systems for grid fault ride-through capability. Simulation parameters allow adjustment of wind speed profiles, turbine characteristics, and grid conditions to analyze system performance under various operational scenarios.
