Doubly Fed Induction Generators cover

Doubly Fed Induction Generators: Control for Wind Energy provides a detailed source of information on the modeling and design of controllers for the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used in wind energy applications. Focusing on the use of nonlinear control techniques, this book:

  • Discusses the main features and advantages of the DFIG
  • Describes key theoretical fundamentals and the DFIG mathematical model
  • Develops controllers using inverse optimal control, sliding modes, and neural networks
  • Devises an improvement to add robustness in the presence of parametric variations
  • Details the results of real-time implementations

All controllers presented in the book are tested in a laboratory prototype. Comparisons between the controllers are made by analyzing statistical measures applied to the control objectives.

"… presents a comprehensive description of the modeling and control of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs), which are cutting-edge technologies used in the wind industry. This book has taken a fresh approach to introducing various control techniques associated with the DFIG wind generator technology. This approach enables researchers, [even those] with little background knowledge, to obtain a very good understanding of the topic."
—Dr. Lasantha Meegahapola, RMIT University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

"… focuses on the nonlinear control of DFIG systems. The sliding mode, neural network, and inverse optimal control are included in this book to investigate the operation performance of DFIGs."
