Capacitor Current Feedback Active Damping with Lagged Compensator for DFIG Wind Turbines with LCL Filter

摘要

Several active damping strategies have been proposed in the literature for grid-connected converters with LCL filter but there are not specific strategies for DFIG wind turbines. In this system, there is an interaction between the two converters of the back-to-back conversion structure, which must be properly modeled in order to design effective damping strategies for the LCL filter resonant poles. This paper proposes a robust active damping strategy for DFIG wind turbines with LCL filter that considers the special features of this system. In this technique the filter capacitor current is fed back through a lag compensator that adjusts the delay of the feedback loop to emulate a virtual impedance that has dominant resistive behavior in the range of possible resonance frequencies. It is shown that a similar damping of the LCL filter resonance is achieved when the strategy is implemented in either of the two converters.
