Optimal Power Control Based-Metaheuristic Algorithm Based Variable Speed Wind Energy System of DFIG

This article presents a novel method for controlling a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind energy system in the presence of variable wind speeds. In order to achieve decoupling control of the active and reactive power, the rotor-side converter (RSC) of the DFIG is controlled using field-oriented control (FOC). The system is very complicated and nonlinear, making it challenging to adjust the PI gains appropriately. The present research proposes the utilization of the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm as an approach to optimize the gains of a Proportional-Integral (PI) regulator. The simulation results demonstrate that the GWO-PI provides a lower criterion value and an improved response than the conventional PI.
