Abstract

It is noted that the traditional direct filed-oriented control (DFOC) is widely used in the field of electric power generation from wind due to its fast response dynamic, ease of implementation and simplicity, but this strategy is characterized by the presence of large ripples at the level of both active and reactive powers. This work presents a new algorithm for DFOC strategy of an asynchronous generator (AG) in a wind power (WP) system, which is based on the use of a new nonlinear controller called fractional-order synergetic control-fractional-order proportional-integral (FOSC-FOPI) controller, where the proposed technique parameters are calculated using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) strategy. It has been observed that the DFOC-FOSC-FOPI-PSO strategy is robust and works well in case of changing generator parameters. Three tests were performed to study the behavior of the designed technique under different working conditions, where the behavior of the DFOC-FOSC-FOPI-PSO strategy was compared with the behavior of the traditional DFOC technique in terms of power ripple ratio, overshoot, steady-state error, response time, tracking reference, and current quality. The simulation of the designed technique based on the FOSC-FOPI-PSO strategy of the AG-WP system is carried out using Matlab software, where the simulation results showed that the suggested technique is better than the classical technique (with PI controller) in terms of improving response time of active power (33.33%) and reactive power (10%) in second test, reduction of the steady-state error of reactive power (96.95%) and active power (97.14) in first test, minimization of harmonic distortion of current (96.57%) in third test and significant minimization of ripples of active power (99.67%, 44.69%, and 98.95%) and reactive power (99.25%, 53.65%, and 70.50%) in the three tests. The effectiveness of the DFOC-FOSC-FOPI-PSO strategy is very high, so it can be a reliable solution for controlling various generators.
