Introduction

This book presents a modified model reference adaptive system (MRAS) observer for sensorless vector control of a wind driven doubly fed induction generator (DFIG).

A mathematical model of the DFIG as influenced by core loss and main flux saturation is developed.

Grid Synchronization Enhancement

The authors describe and evaluate grid synchronization enhancement of a wind driven DFIG using adaptive sliding mode control (SMC).

Unbalanced Grid Voltage Coverage

Besides, grid synchronization of a wind driven DFIG under unbalanced grid voltage is also fully covered in this book.
