Harmonic Analysis of a DFIG for a Wind Energy Conversion System
This paper develops a framework for analysis of harmonics in a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) caused by non-sinusoidal conditions in rotor and unbalance in stator. Nonsinusoidal rotor voltages are decomposed into harmonic components and their corresponding sequences are identified. Induced harmonics in stator are analyzed and computed, from which the torques produced by these interactions between stator and rotor harmonic components can be found. During unbalanced stator conditions, symmetric component theory is applied to the stator voltage to get positive-, negative-, and zero-sequence components of stator and rotor currents. The steady-state negative-sequence equivalent circuit for a DFIG is derived based on the reference frame theory. Harmonic currents in the rotor are computed based on the sequence circuits. In both scenarios, the harmonic components of the electromagnetic torque are calculated from the interactions of the harmonic components of the stator and rotor currents. Three case studies are considered, namely: 1) nonsinusoidal rotor injection; 2) an isolated unbalanced stator load scenario; and 3) unbalanced grid-connected operation. The analysis is verified with results from numerical simulations in MATLAB/Simulink. For illustration, the second case is verified using experiments. The simulation results and experimental results agree well with the results from analysis.
